Fred Van Lente's brilliant debut is both an homage to the Golden Age of Mystery and a thoroughly contemporary show-business satire. As the story opens, nine comedians of various acclaim are summoned to the island retreat of legendary Hollywood funnyman Dustin Walker. The group includes a former late-night TV host, a washed-up improv instructor, a ridiculously wealthy "blue collar" comic, and a past-her-prime Vegas icon. All nine arrive via boat to find that every building on the island is completely deserted. Marooned without cell phone service or wifi signals, they soon find themselves being murdered one by one. But who is doing the killing, and why?
A darkly clever take on Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None and other classics of the genre, Ten Dead Comedians is a marvel of literary ventriloquism, with hilarious comic monologues in the voice of every suspect. It's also an ingeniously plotted puzzler with a twist you'll never see coming!

The book was fun.
It has a lot of profanity in it, so be warned in that regard.
I actually got this book because of the narrator. I followed him over from Colson Whitehead's "The Nickel Boys." He is awesome!
Homage to Agatha Christie

As for the audio performance, I think it would have benefited from multiple actors. The guy who did it was okay, but again a bit corny or forced at times too. Not authentic.
Overall a very meh experience.
Not dead funny
