The Comedy Club Mystery (The Headline Hero Series Book 6)

1960s Brighton, England... With five comedians in the frame, murder has never been such fun… pity the corpse didn’t see the joke.

The dead body of a theatrical agent.

A missing book worth a fortune.

Five comedians in the frame for murder.

There’s trouble for crime reporter Colin Crampton when theatrical agent Daniel Bernstein turns up murdered. Colin discovers that any of five comedians competing for the chance to appear on a top TV show could be behind the killing.

As Colin and his feisty girlfriend Shirley Goldsmith investigate, they encounter a cast of colourful characters–identical twin gangsters, an Irishman who lives underground, and a failed magician’s assistant. And it’s not long before their own lives are in peril as they battle to crack a code that could lead to a fortune.

Witty banter

Don’t expect a rollicking, laugh-out-loud production, but if you enjoy witty banter as only the British can do, you will enjoy the dialogue, the mystery, and the conclusion as it is all quite entertaining and satisfying.
