There's a killer on the airwaves… and they're calling for you.

Darkness looms over sunny Sidmouth, when an unsolved murder comes to the attention of late-night radio talk show host Edward Temmis.

Recently sacked from his beloved job after a devastating tragedy, Edward is cast adrift – until he meets Stevie, whose grandmother, a devoted listener, died in a suspicious fire last year. Well, nobody hurts his listeners and helping Stevie might just give him the purpose he needs.

Joined by his old fling, Kim, they discover Stevie's grandmother wasn't the only one of his listeners targeted – this is just the tip of the iceberg.

But who is pursuing his ageing audience and why? And can Edward, Stevie and Kim get to the bottom of this mystery before it’s too late?

'Elegant and engaging' Daily Mail

'Written with a fine eye for the elegant phrase, and laden with deftly sparkling comic touches, Jeremy Vine’s Murder On Line One serves both as a trenchant reflection on the grief that follows personal tragedy and a poignant love letter to a changing radio industry. A meditative and polished mystery debut' Vaseem Khan

What a clever plot and story! Loved it.

This book is cleverly written and the plot was brilliant.

You feel like you get to know the characters - feeling their grief and sorrow, smiling at their observations, and feeling shocked about the older generation being conned and scammed out of their money and dignity - too scared to say anything.

The plot twists had me guessing from my list of suspects for a good while, and the culprit was not who I expected for so long, but then it all made sense.

Listeners to radio shows don’t always know what happens behind the scenes, this insight was key to the story.

I really enjoyed this book and hope there is another book coming along at some point.
