Why listen to Charles Paris Mysteries?
This is a series where the audio format is arguably the whole point. At 1 hour and 52 minutes, An Amateur Corpse is closer in shape to an evening’s radio listening than a marathon thriller, which makes it ideal for a commute, a long bath or a Sunday afternoon.Bill Nighy’s involvement is the headline. His name on the cover promises a certain wry, worldly delivery, and the 4.0 average from 295 ratings suggests listeners have been satisfied with what they found.Start here without hesitation. Though it is the fourth Charles Paris story, mysteries of this kind tend to welcome newcomers at any point, and the short running time makes it a low-risk introduction for anyone curious about Simon Brett’s entertainment-world crime.
Clara’s verdict
★★★★☆ 4.0/5
I rate this one with genuine confidence, because the numbers back me up: 295 listeners have settled on a 4.0 average, which is a solid, honest score for a solid, honest entertainment. It is not a listen that will devour your week, and I mean that as a compliment; at under two hours it knows exactly what it is. If you want a starry narrator and a mystery steeped in the world of performance, this earns its place in the queue.
