In his latest stage performance, Charles Paris hits a new low in his less-than-stellar career, for in The Message Is Murder, he plays a corpse. As this part allows him too much backstage time, he quite often is dead drunk by the time he makes his appearance. But when accidents begin to happen, Charles, amateur sleuth, is pulled out of his despair and is once again searching for the culprit. The accidents escalate until a death occurs behind the scenes. Was it suicide or murder? Brett will keep the reader and Charles guessing until the end. More than a mystery, Murder in the Title is a glimpse backstage at a genteel but failing small provincial theater. Simon Prebble's narration of this showstopper is excellent; highly recommended for all public libraries.DTheresa Connors, Arkansas Tech Univ., Russellville
