 Reviews for the 2024 Reading Club originally, but I'm adding the 2025 reviews. |
| Situation tragedy by Simon Brett is the third book in this series of novels about the detective actor Charles Paris. Since these books take place in England, and I don't live in England, it can be one of my choices for September. So this book is, like the previous two, very entertaining. It's a book that once again, features an alcoholic actor named Charles Paris, who this time around has a role in a British sitcom although it's a small role, but he makes the most of it. And all of a sudden, a series of very random murders that almost seem like accidents begin to occur throughout the cast and the crew. And Paris naturally rises to the occasion of trying to solve the murders. The murders seem to be completely unconnected other than that the they involve only people in the sitcom. Well, the solution to the story turns out to involve a series of novels written in the 30s. Paris actually tracks down, not the author, but the collector of these novels. And, actually, one of my favorite parts of this of this story is when the collector he meets the collector who says, "I just collect this stuff. I don't read it." The identity of the killer is revealed rather early. But you still have to figure out why exactly the killer is doing this. And it's also very suspenseful as each chapter progresses, more pieces of the puzzle are revealed. So it's still an an entertaining novel. And I still find Charles Paris' character to be endearing even if not exactly virtuous. All in all, it's a good read. |
