Piers WehnerFab Fun! The blurb box info here on GR must relate to another book entirely; here is the blurb from Amazon:This is the first in the long running series of light frothy murder mysteries staring that charming actor of middle aged years, Charles Paris.In this book 47 year-old Charles, having just finished a recording for the radio, bumps into an old flame from their years in pantomime, an "actress-cum-dancer-cum-most things" called Jacqui. Jacqui is most upset over her latest beau, the rich and famous theatre impresario Marius Steen. Jacqui is convinced Marius was on the verge of asking her to marry him and now apparently he doesn't want to see her anymore and has taken to writing hurtful and abusive letters to keep her away. Could it be that Marius is worried about some "risqué" photos of him and Jacqui getting into the public eye? Charles, ever an easy touch by young beautiful girls, agrees to try to arrange to see Mr Steen on Jacqui's behalf and return the photos. An easy task made extremely difficult by the fact that Charles discovers Marius dead in his home in Streatley.
