By popular demand a welcome return for Simon Bretts actor detective Charles Paris, last seen in 1997s Dead Room Farce. After a long period of resting, life is looking up for Charles Paris, who has been cast as the Ghost of Hamlets Father and First Gravedigger in a new production of Hamlet. But rehearsals are fraught. Ophelia is played by Katrina Selsey, who won the role through a television talent show. Hamlet himself is also played by a reality TV contestant, Jared Root and the two young stars have rather different views of celebrity and the theatre than the more experienced members of the cast. But when the company reach the first staging post of their tour, the Grand Theatre Marlborough, matters get more serious, with one member of the company seriously injured in what appears to be an accident, and another dead. Once again, Charles Paris is forced to don the mantle of amateur detective to get to the bottom of the mystery. Simon Brett is the winner of The CWA Diamond Dagger 2014.
