NBC weatherman Al Roker has written a book and "The Morning Show Murders" is a bit of a detour from the usual gig the TV News host performs. He is centering the book around what he knows best, morning news television. The title leads to an easy question. Who dies? And whodunit?

Al Roker Murder Mystery: Who Gets Killed in The Morning Show Murders?

"We're not in the book, are we?" co-anchor Meredith Vieira asked when she, Matt Lauer and Ann Curry sat down to talk about the indefatigable Roker’s latest venture, according to a report from the NBC Today show website. Roker quips, "On the advice of my attorney, I say no."


Al was willing to reveal, "Traits of people I know were worked into certain characters." A Reuters report notes that Al does have help with penning the mystery, "The book was written in collaboration with Dick Lochte, an established crime fiction writer," the wire report notes.

Roker has penned "Don't Make Me Stop This Car: Adventures in Fatherhood," an New York Times Best-Seller.
