Charles Paris: A Deadly Habit | Simon Brett | BBC Radio Drama | Murder Behind the Mask

Описание: Step once again into the whisky-stained, sharp-tongued world of Charles Paris in A Deadly Habit, a gripping and darkly comic BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation of Simon Brett’s beloved murder-mystery novel.

Landing a role in a gloomy West End play set in a monastery, Charles expects nothing more than bad costumes, wooden dialogue, and backstage gossip. But when one of the actors is found dead, the theatre is thrown into panic — and Charles senses a murder hiding behind the façade of religious calm.

🕵️ A Mystery Wrapped in Stage Smoke:
As Charles drifts between rehearsals, actors’ dressing rooms, after-show drinks, and whispered confessions, he uncovers a maze of jealous rivals, bruised ambitions, and secret grudges. Every monk costume hides a motive. Every line delivered on stage echoes with lies off it. And every alibi seems rehearsed a little too perfectly.

With the police fumbling and tensions rising inside the company, Charles must sober up just long enough to spot the one clue everyone else has missed… before the killer decides to bring down the final curtain.

🎭 Why Listen:
• Bill Nighy stars as the brilliantly flawed Charles Paris
• A witty, atmospheric adaptation of Simon Brett’s classic backstage whodunnit
• Filled with theatrical intrigue, British humour, and murder-mystery suspense
• Perfect for fans of Poirot, Jonathan Creek, and BBC crime dramas
