Order of Charles Paris Books
Charles Paris is the protagonist in a series of mystery novels by British author Simon Brett. Charles Paris is separated from his wife and still unhappy, with a little success in his acting career (but not that much) and has a bit of a drinking problem (but not out of control). He ends up finding himself getting mixed up into various crimes and then becoming an amateur sleuth by accident.
Simon Brett launched his Charles Paris series in 1975 with the novel Cast, in Order of Disappearance. The series would go on in a steady basis until the 17th novel, Dead Room Farce in 1997. There would be a lengthy hiatus until the 18th novel, A Decent Interval in 2013. The series is currently ongoing.
