Simon Brett's Charles Paris series is a winner. The reader gets a "bird's eye view" of life in the theatrical world in London, and a good little puzzle too. Charles Paris is a hard-drinking, 50-something, mostly out-of-work actor that does a little amateur detective work on the side. And he is probably one of the most realistic characters that you will come across in fiction. Simon Brett paints him masterfully without omitting any of the "warts". In this book we have Charles in the middle of a domestic homosexual dispute, and one of the partners turns up dead, he takes it upon himself to find the killer. Wonderful little book.
