An Amateur Corpse
Low stock: 1 left
'An Amateur Corpse' is another fascinating Simon Brett mystery set in the backdrop of theater.
Charles Paris is a part-time detective and professional actor, drawn into the affairs of an amateur theater company. Charles's friend Hugo's wife is murdered, and Hugo is charged with the crime.
Paris takes on the case personally. The solution to the mystery lies in a clever double alibi. An Amateur Corpse is an absorbing and entertaining account of theatrical back staging, back scratching and backbiting.
