BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from Al Roker and Dick Lochte's The Talk Show Murders.
Professional chef turned amateur sleuth Billy Blessing finds himself in hot water when a brutal killing cancels a TV show—and its host—during its debut.
Billy has reluctantly agreed to fly westward and play second banana on a new late-night talk show hosted by comic Desmond O’Day in Los Angeles, a city that brings up bad memories. Twenty years ago, Billy had accused obnoxious chef Roger Charbonnet of murder there. A tricked-up alibi freed Roger, who vowed vengeance—and Billy’s arrival in the City of Angels just may give Roger his chance. When a deadly explosion during a TV taping kills more than Desmond’s chance at high ratings, Billy is convinced that he was the intended target. With politics, infidelity, and high finance sprinkled in, the case turns out to have more ingredients than Billy could ever have imagined. And when a beautiful female TV producer convinces Billy to find the culprit himself—on camera—the table’s set for a conspiracy with too many cooks and far too many killers.

Al's signature humor was obvious throughout the novel, blending wittiness and mystery well. I love the eclecticness of the characters in the novels and how they fit into the storyline without that formula feel to the mystery. There were times when I was able to guess what was going to happen next, but intead of making the story predictable, it had the opposite effect. It led the reader to what seemed to be an obvious conclusion, only to have it turn out to be totally different and unexpected. Definately a fun read and I thoroughly enjoyed it. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful  Hard to put down this funny book, By Leia Solo "Leia" (Vienna, VA USA) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: The Midnight Show Murders: A Billy Blessing Novel (Mass Market Paperback) This book makes you wonder what really goes on at the late night talk shows these days and behind-the-scenes on them too. Al Roker, TV meteorologist for The Today Show, has done it again. Like his previous book, The Morning Show Murders, this one is really funny. Very fast paced book and hard to put down. Way to go, Al. |
