Narrated by the author, except books 1 and 9 (originally from Demonoid) which are read by Simon Prebble.

Mostly recorded at 48kbps /44kHz CBR Mono except for books 1,4,7,8,9 and 14 on casettes which are 32 kbps / 22 kHz CBR Mono.

The majority of titles are CD quality. (The sound quality of the ones which are still only available on cassette tapes may not be pristine, but they are reasonably hiss free and clear.)



Charles Paris is a middle aged unhappily separated (but not divorced), moderately successful British actor with a slight drinking problem(!) who gets entangled in all sorts of crimes, and often finds himself in the role of unwilling amateur detective.

There are currently nineteen novels featuring this character. These recordings are all narrations, not dramatizations.
