PRESCRIPTION FOR MURDER
|
In the seemingly quiet town of Bere Knighton there is never a dull moment for Dr Richard Forth. Not only does he have a hectic work schedule and an awkward friendship with his ex-girlfriend, but his new wife, Barbara, is constantly ill and nobody knows what is wrong with her. When Eric Dawson, a stranger, claims to have known Richard`s second fiancée – a woman Richard claims does not exist – Barbara`s health worsens and she isn`t the only one. With bad luck spreading almost as quickly as bad news, it seems somebody is out to kill Barbara, and anyone else who gets in their way |

All the ingredients of package holidays..., late flights, double bookings, foreign food etc. provide an evening of uproarious and innocent fun. |
