About Last Night Elaine Bedell
Paperback published by HQ Stories 25th July 2019
Sometimes it only takes one night to change everything…
Elizabeth Place might have been jilted on her wedding day one year ago, but at least she’s still got her brilliant job producing one of the biggest shows on TV!
But when larger-than-life TV host, Ricky Clough, dies live on air, her life is sent spinning out of control. And with foul play suspected, the spotlight is turned firmly on his colleagues – especially Hutch, the man desperate for Ricky’s job and whom Elizabeth is secretly dating.
As her world comes crashing down around her, Elizabeth realises that perhaps the only person she can really trust, is herself.
MY REVIEW
Author Elaine Bedell is the Chief Executive of the Southbank Centre. She has previously worked at the BBC as a controller of Entertainment, and Director of Entertainment & Comedy at ITV. She has commissioned and produced a long list of shows, that we all love to watch, that includes X Factor, Strictly Come Dancing and Saturday Night Take plus many more.
About Last Night is Elaine’s first novel that seems to me that it based loosely on what she knows best. Like many writers do base their stories on what they know best, and they go on to make the best fiction reading, just like Elaine Bedell has done here. And No definitely not are any characters are based on real people.
For me personally About Last Night had me glued, what happened, full marks here , it all took me by surprise to the extent that I didn’t expect.
Elizabeth has worked together with Lola for seven years and for Elizabeth she never feels
more alive than when she’s in the gallery producing a show, sitting next to Lola.
The Ricky Clough Show begins. It’s Elizabeth job to give Ricky Clough instructions through her microphone, that only Ricky can hear. Elizabeth and Lola with all other crew members become stunned when Ricky Clough falls, with then mumbling his words .
Paramedics were unable to save him. The police make their own investigation into how Ricky Clough died in the TV studio.
Don’t miss this! As it takes one night to change everything.
