Mystery
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
show—and its host—during its debut. Billy has never liked going to the West Coast, but when he
runs into high-energy comic Desmond O’Day, he reluctantly
agrees to play second banana on the funnyman’s new
late-night talk show. Los Angeles holds bad—and
bloody—memories 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 O’Day’s chance at high ratings, Billy believes
that he was the intended target—and 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 himself—on camera. And the table’s 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 Roker’s series trademark, The
Midnight Show Murders is a four-star feast for any fan of
top-flight mystery fiction. As James Patterson says, “Maybe
Al Roker should quit his day job!”
