Showstopper
Autor Peter Loveseyen Limba Engleză Hardback – 26 apr 2023
Since the start of the hit TV show Swift in 2013, its cast and crew have been plagued by misfortune. First, a star actress pulls out of the show before it begins-and by 2019, there have been multiple injuries by fall, fire, or drowning; two deaths; and two missing persons cases. The popular media around Bath, England, quickly decides it's a curse, but is it as simple as that? Is someone behind these fishy incidents? Peter Diamond, chief of the Avon and Somerset murder squad, is on the case, and he'll start by looking for the two currently missing men. But while the investigation is underway, the producer of the show goes missing, complicating already complex matters even further. Unfortunately, Peter's boss, Georgina, is pushing retirement on him. Will this be the end for Peter Diamond? MWA Grand Master Peter Lovesey's 21st installment in the award-winning series delivers an enticing, fast-paced murder mystery that will leave readers guessing at every turn.

Descriere
Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
Bath's top detective, Peter Diamond, doesn't believe in jinxes. So when he's asked to investigate a top TV show plagued by a series of misfortunes, Diamond is unmoved. He's no fan of the show - which glorifies criminals and mocks the police - and the incidents were spread across six years. It's clear this is the press making a sensation out of nothing. So Diamond puts the junior member of his squad on the case.
But when young officer Paul Gilbert goes on location with the TV unit and witnesses another near-death incident, Diamond is forced to take an interest. To make matters worse, the press get wind of his involvement and Diamond his under pressure from all quarters. But his troubles have scarcely started. Devastating traps and surprises make this the most baffling case of his entire career.

Recenzii
More than 30 years into this series, Lovesey shows no signs of losing steam or ingenuity
Another triumph for a veteran sleuth who's pretty unstoppable himself
Pure pleasure, as always: traditional clues and red herrings, humour, and a central character who becomes more real with every book.
An intriguing tale with a surprising ending. Highly recommended.
