About this listen

Having landed a small part in a new West End play, The Habit of Faith, Charles Paris is dismayed to discover that his good fortune has been orchestrated by his bête noire, the now-famous screen actor Justin Grover. But why has Grover become involved in this relatively obscure production - and why has he roped in Charles to star?

From the outset the production is fraught with difficulties - and matters become even more complicated when a body is discovered at the foot of the dressing room stairs. Did they fall - or were they pushed? As one of the last people to have seen the victim alive, Charles Paris is drawn into the ensuing investigation.

I like this writer Simon Brett very much. This was really a story about sobriety and the theatre. Really enjoyable. He reads his writing well and writes well too. I liked it.

I found the story itself a bit lacking in entertainment value, but I love Charles Paris written and read by Simon Brett.
