"Someone is killing doctors in the style of the murders in Vincent Price movies, leaving the Bristol police baffled. The only man who could possibly be responsible died years ago . . . or did he . . .'" The police in Bristol have been confronted by a series of the most perplexingly elaborate deaths they've ever encountered in all their years of murder enquiries.

I remember nearly all of the movies which made it a lot of fun, but I generally like my books to be a little more involved or maybe, you know, to be a little more than just a serious of interlinked scenes of someone killing someone else. Still, I liked it and it was very short. The irony is that the author's reviews of the movies at the end of the book are at least as enjoyable as the novel itself.
Having said all that I would recommend it to anyone who loves the old horror movies and had a pound or so to spare, which is a very good price for any novel, but especially one as entertaining as this even given it's negatives.
I was on the verge of giving it 3 stars but it was simply too much fun not to up it to 4. I suppose in the end, if you've seen the movie 'Theatre of Blood' then you'll know exactly what to expect with this offering.
So, great fun, but a bit too light on plot for my liking. ( )
