About the book

The contestants in TV’s Fame Factory are being eliminated one by one. But it’s not by viewer vote.

A man in a miniskirt hanging from a tree. A girl with the voice of an angel and a needle in her arm. And one half of the tabloids’ favourite couple lying dead in one of London’s poshest hotels. What links them together? Inspector Mike Braithwaite might be able to work it out, if only his 11-year-old daughter would stop going on about the nation’s favourite TV talent show…

This hilarious murder mystery, featuring a cast of Z-list celebrities, reality show wannabes, PC policemen and TV producers who’d sell their own grandmothers live on air for a cut of the cash from the phone-lines, is the first novel from Private Eye and Popbitch journalist Adam Macqueen.

If you’ve ever found yourself shouting abuse at Sharon Osbourne and Simon Cowell even though you know they can’t hear you from the other side of the screen, then this hilarious book may make you feel a little bit better… and thanks to the collapse of publishers The Friday Project one month before it was due to be released, you can read the whole thing right here for free!

Navigate through the chapters listed in the panel to the right. And if you’re enjoying it and fancy carrying on on reading in slightly more comfort, a high-quality paperback version is available by following the link at the top of the column, for just £12.99 + P&P.
