When showbiz gets ugly...

The glitz and glamour of showbiz descend on Bexford with the launch of the new TV series Foul Murder. But when a murder is committed live on stage, life quickly imitates art. Fortunately, Detective Sergeant Guy Poole and Detective Inspector Sam Brock are in the audience and immediately take control of the chaotic scene. As they dive into the investigation, it becomes clear that one of their own is the prime suspect. Despite his irritating demeanor, they are determined to prove his innocence.

A Staged Death is the second Brock and Poole Mystery, a clever, character-driven whodunnit perfect for fans of classic village crime.
