Beloved TV personality, trusted weathercaster, and all-around Renaissance man Al Roker continues his newest successful career with the thrilling sequel to his dynamite mystery debut, The Morning Show Murders. Professional chef turned amateur sleuth Billy Blessing once again finds himself in hot water, when a brutal killing cancels a TV showโand its hostโduring its debut.
Billy has never liked going to the West Coast, but when he runs into high-energy comic Desmond OโDay, he reluctantly agrees to play second banana on the funnymanโs new late-night talk show. Los Angeles holds badโand bloodyโmemories for Billy. Twenty years ago, he had suspected obnoxious chef Roger Charbonnet of murdering his ex-starlet girlfriend there, and told the cops. A tricked-up alibi freed Roger, who vowed vengeance. And now Billy might be on the verge of getting burned.
After a horrifying explosion during a TV taping kills more than Desmond OโDayโs chance at high ratings, Billy believes that he was the intended targetโand that Roger Charbonnet was somehow involved. And when politics, infidelity, and high finance are sprinkled in, the case turns out to have more ingredients than Billy could ever have imagined. Soon a beautiful female TV producer convinces Billy to find the culprit himselfโon camera. And the tableโs set for a conspiracy with too many cooks and far too many killers.
Filled with the high-style hilarity, insider info, and surefire suspense that are Al Rokerโs series trademark, The Midnight Show Murders is a four-star feast for any fan of top-flight mystery fiction. As James Patterson says, โMaybe Al Roker should quit his day job!โ
