Editorial Reviews

Once again, Charles Paris finds himself acting. Only this time he's playing two roles. Cast as Sir Charles Marlow in a West End musical, Charles's real job is to be an investigator behind the scenes. It seems that Lumpkin!, the musical, has been plagued with minor accidents, and it is to be a starring vehicle for the well-known and lovable TV comedian Christopher Milton. The show's financial investors want to be assured no more incidents will occur. As rehearsals continue, the cast find their roles diminishing as Milton takes over more and more of the show. As tempers flare and threats fill the air, the minor events intensify, and Charles's detecting skills are put to the test. Geoffrey Howard does a great job. Highly recommended for all public libraries.--Theresa Connors, Arkansas Tech Univ., Russellville Copyright 2000 Cahners Business Information.
