Dead Famous

Like reading?  Like Big Brother?  Then you’ll like Dead Famous.  If like me, you’re not into watching any reality shows, then this is still a cracking read.  A murder is comitted in a BB house, but how is certainly a mystery, one an old fashion copper with two whipper snappers helping him.  While obvious to all that it’s an inside job and if you’re a bad detective like me, then it will keep you guessing and up all night.  The contestants were chosen with care, meaning that they all had things to hide.  I can say without giving anything else away, that it wasn’t the butler and I just hope that the real BB people don’t get hold of the book to get any ideas, otherwise they’ll get more than they bargained for.
