Synopsis

From bestselling author and iconic news personality Al Roker comes The Midnight Show Murders, the second book in the delightful Morning Show Murders series.Celebrity chef and Wake Up, America! cohost Billy Blessing heads to Los Angeles in order to help launch O’Day at Night, a new late-night show hosted by Irish comedian Desmond O’Day. LA brings up bad—and bloody—memories for Billy, but a special request from the head of the network sends him flying across the country.Twenty years ago, before becoming a famous New York chef, Billy worked in LA at Chez Anisette. One unfortunate evening, the young hostess, Tiffany Arden, was murdered with a meat tenderizer. While Billy always suspected the head chef, Roger Charbonnet, to be the murderer, the case was never solved.Now, back in a city he never thought he’d return to, Billy is confronted by Roger, who is still determined to exact vengeance. After a horrifying explosion during taping kills more than Desmond O’Day’s chance at high ratings, Billy believes that he was the intended target—and that Roger was somehow involved. But when politics, infidelity, and high finance get sprinkled in, the case turns out to have more ingredients than Billy ever imagined.Filled with the high-style hilarity, insider info, and surefire suspense that are Al Roker’s series trademark, The Midnight Show Murders is a five-star feast for any fan of top-flight mystery fiction.

This review is for the audiobook version read by Al Roker. This is the second book in the series that has been made into a tv series that changed the MC from male to female.

Goodreads review by Clayton on September 04, 2017

A wonderful narrative-style in this crazy Hollywood murder. I like this type of upbeat story because it's like being in the head of the hero, Billi Blessing. Many novels are dark and serious, creating a mood to scare you or bring you into the horror, but the author happily carries you along for a fu......more

Goodreads review by Mike on July 19, 2024

This is a fine series. There's a bit too much hidden from the reader until the very end. It's hinted at, but not outright stated. And I didn't mean just like "secret twin" but like "secret twin that was President Of Science and invented time travel", just a ton of secret information that is extremely......more
