Book Description
West End Television is planning a new situation-comedy series, to be called The Struttters. From the outset, things go horribly wrong with the new series. Odd accidents--if they are accidents--remove, one by one, the sharp-tongued production assistant, the self-effacing scriptwriter, and the hearty floor manager. Death even takes from us the revolting Yorkshire terrier, Cocky, who's the idol of the indestructible Dame Aurelia Howarth, theatrical star for 50 years. There's no discernible pattern in Situation Tragedy, but Simon Brett's regular sleuth, the bit-player Charles Paris, is confidently on the trail of another mass murderer. But the bizarre solution, brilliantly led up to, surprises even him.
