Charles Paris is his own worst enemy, a louche lush who can resist anything except temptation - especially in the form of women and alcohol. He’s been out of work so long now he feels he may never get a job and he’s driving Frances, his semi-ex-wife, mad.
So when he’s offered a small role in a play, she nearly pushes him out of the door. But it seems that ‘The Message is Murder’ is such a terrible production that someone wants to kill off the cast. First there is a series of nasty accidents, then someone attempts to stab Charles.
Can he find the murderer before they strike again?
Bill Nighy stars as Charles Paris in this entertaining dramatisation by Jeremy Front.
Written by Jeremy Front, based on the novel by Simon Brett.

All Bill Nighy's performances as Charles Paris are delightful, well worth the modest cost...Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes, and I did so twice...Any additional comments?
Only the Colonial Radio Theater performances come close to matching the BBC Radio Crime dramas. Both troupes are well worth snapping up every offering.Another BBC Value Performance

Is there anything you would change about this book?
As it was made for radio I thought they did a fair job of bringing the characters to life in the short time available; it took a bit of imagination to fill in the blanks but that's what radio is about and why we have the gift of imagination.Did Bill Nighy do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?
Yes, I quickly came to know who the characters were and how their idiosyncrasies made up their personalitiesCould you see Charles Paris: Murder in the Title (BBC Radio Crimes) being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
I don't know....too much realism has hit our screens; I'm not sure this would make it past the first season.Any additional comments?
This radio drama is a great listen when doing those humdrum chores around the house.Quick entertainment
