Book description
Hello, I'm Johnny Debonair and this is my book - Murder Most
Fab. Buy it. You won't regret it. Everything that has happened so
publicly is explained. Of course, I'd prefer it if you remember me as
I was at my height, before the past caught up with me so spectacularly
- TV's Mr Friday Night with an enviable lifestyle and the nation at my
feet. My fame might have looked easy to you at the time, but getting
to the top of the celebrity ladder is hard work. It took talent,
beauty, commitment and, uniquely in my case, a number of unfortunate
deaths. If we were being picky you might describe me as a serial
killer, but I really don't see myself that way. It sounds trite to say
'one thing led to another' but it's true.
As you'll discover I owe something of my rise and my fall to
three individuals: my mother, an eccentric country girl who taught me
exhibitionism by hanging naked from the clocktower of Hythe town hall;
Catherine, my best friend, then partner in business Â- a devil in red
heels, who, in her clear Essex accent, taught me how to 'look after
number one'; and Timothy, who broke my heart and caused me to seek
refuge in sex, money and celebrity.
But in the end you have to take responsibility for your own actions.
No one was forcing me, were they? I hope you, the public, can forgive
me and enjoy this sordid tale for what it is Â- my final
entertainment for you.
