Summary
THE INSTANT BESTSELLER BY MULTI-MILLION COPY BESTSELLING AUTHOR BOB MORTIMER.

‘A touching story of human relationships’ The Guardian
‘A delight to read’ Daily Express
‘Characteristically offbeat and thoroughly amiable’ Financial Time

Bathroom salesman Matt is at a crossroads. He has lost his job, he is about to be made homeless and his girlfriend has left him. He wants his luck to change and he wants things to go back to how they were. Out of the blue he is offered a job that comes with a free luxury apartment. He hopes this might be enough to tempt her back. But, as events unfold, it starts to dawn on him that perhaps she didn't leave of her own accord after all...?

‘A genuinely unexpected storyline . . . Definitely good for a plane ride or holiday when you can settle in and soak up the idiosyncratic characters and startling plot twists.’ ***** The Daily Telegraph

Praise for Bob Mortimer:

'As a comedian, Bob Mortimer spins a shaggy-dog story like nobody else' The Guardian

‘The much loved comic proves adept at noirish fiction in a debut whose surrealist humour sets it apart’ – Observer

‘Mortimer’s verbal specificity and off-kilter humour will keep his fans chuckling’ The Times

'There is a sweetness to his worldview that makes his writing gently poignant... Like Spike Milligan, the only vintage comic whose fiction is still read, Mortimer has managed to use a novel as a vehicle for his distinctive comedic voice' The Telegraph
Cosy Dark Humour Literature & Fiction Mystery Suspense Thriller & Suspense

I was kept entertained and interested by the story and diverse characters the whole way through the twisty turny tale. The best audiobook I’ve listened to so far. Loved it
