Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Brown's novel about an ex-reporter who, disenchanted with his career writing a radio soap opera, looks to create a new show, dubbed 'Murder Can Be Fun,' and change genres. Things get dicey when killings happen, using our hero's unpublished scripts as a template.

Those familiar with Brown's work will know what to expect. The story centers around Bill Tracy, an ex journalist from the Blade, who now writes a radio soap opera called Millie's Millions. He is working on writing a humorous radio show called Murder Can be Fun when he realizes murders are occurring that follow his scripts and involve people he knows. Problem is, he never showed the scripts to anyone.
The character Bill Tracy is almost identical to Bill Sweeney from Brown's Book The Screaming Mimi. Which might why I enjoyed this so much because it seemed like it could of worked as a sequel or Prequel to that book(although this one is set in New York, not Chicago).
The only downside is not the fault of the material, but the publishing company. And it seems all their books have this problem: words are spelled wrong on almost every page, sometimes a letter is thrown in the middle of a sentence for no reason(I'm guessing the typist slipped and didn't realize it) and certain parts have the punctuation wrong or just placed wrongly in the middle of a sentence. Very poor publishing company.
However, It doesn't make the book difficult to read. once you catch on that sometimes they are replacing words that start with a 'h' with a 'b', you can easily figure it out and its more of an annoyance then making the book unintelligable.
So i still recommend this book and anything done by Fredric Brown.
