1. Jinx

Charles Paris, bit part actor and amateur sleuth, finally gets the chance to be in a West End musical.

But his suspicions are roused when the number of accidents looks like more than bad luck...

At home, Charles' 'semi-detached' wife Frances is approaching a big birthday and she's drawn up a bucket list of things to do before it's too late.
