I read several books by Simon Brett featuring Charles Paris, all in a row. I enjoyed all of them!
The Dead Side of the Mike, published in 1980, is the 6th book in the series. Charles Paris is an actor, who has gotten involved investigating murders in the past. In this story, Charles has a job working on a program for the BBC radio. His favorite part of the job is going to the BBC club for a drink after the work is done.
While there, he meets a few BBC employees, and then discovers the body of one of them shortly thereafter. While the official view is that the young woman had committed suicide, Charles has the feeling that it was a murder. He proceeds to investigate the woman, her friends, and her co-workers.
This mystery was fun and enjoyable to read--I really enjoy Charles Paris--and the mystery kept me guessing.
