A review by spectacledbear
Cast in Order of Disappearance by Simon Brett, Jeremy Front
3.0
I have heard a few of the radio adaptations of Simon Brett's novels featuring Charles Paris, and enjoyed them (partly due to Bill Nighy's involvement). The book is a quick read, fairly gentle and very much of its time (lots of references to the oil strike, three day week, and political issues of the mid-70s).
It was pretty perfect for reading on a plane, which is where I read the majority of it. If you like a gentle mystery with some nice touches (I enjoyed the occasional snippets of Paris's varied reviews which flash through his head as he disguises himself and chooses spiritists characters and voices for sleuthing purposes), I would recommend it.
