Summary
'As a comedian, Bob Mortimer spins a shaggy-dog story like nobody else, and this is a rollicking old-school yarn' The Guardian
‘Mortimer’s verbal specificity and off-kilter humour will keep his fans chuckling’ The Times
WARNING - this book includes: heavy crimes, car journeys, dreadfulness, large fruits, romance, planning applications, and a lot of pie.
Gary Thorn is struggling with a big decision. Should he stay in London, wallowing in the safety of his legal job in Peckham and eating pies with his next door neighbour, Grace and her dog Lassoo, or should he move to Brighton, where his girlfriend Emily is about to open The Hotel Avocado? Either way, he’d be letting someone down.
But sinister forces are gathering in a cloud of launderette scented-vape smoke, and the arrival of the mysterious Mr Sequence puts Gary in an even worse predicament: soon he might be dead.
All Gary wants is a happy life. But he also wants to be alive to enjoy it…
THE HILARIOUS AND GRIPPING NEW NOVEL BY NUMBER ONE BESTSELLING AUTHOR BOB MORTIMER
‘Sweet and funny’ Closer
‘A stunning sequel… It’s genuinely difficult to put this book down – you’ll be entranced by Mortimer’s humour and obvious story-telling skills’ Press Association
‘Characters are layered with carefully observed detail and a huge serving of hilarity’ Heat

Always a joy to read Mortimer’s books
I loved this book from start to finish . Having Bob read it too, is the icing on the cake in addition to the all important animal character side lines which are becoming a very funny feature . Next one please!

More excellent Bob Mortimer
Screw The Guardian's rubbish review, I really enjoyed it! I'd love to be a little bit more Bob Mortimer, he's just brilliant. The ongoing stories of the existing characters was wonderful, the new characters were great, there was fun, intrigue, danger and romance. What more can you ask for?

bob Mortimer is the greatest but...
I love Bob. I see or hear him and I smile.
the problem with this book is just not enough gags, very few laughs. it needed more outlandish, crazy stories, random events. more Bob.

Tinned tomatoes on toast anyone?
Who can knock it out of the park like Bob?
I loved the first book and never thought there would be a second…….but here is it in all its glory.
If you’ve not listened to the first one do it!
Then get straight back here and listen to this one.
You won’t be disappointed…….hope there will be a third.
I hate onions in sandwiches!

Not dissimilar to his tangerine one
Like a late afternoon Cornish pastie that has sat there most of the day, this didn’t seem like it would be nice, but ended up much tastier than it looked.

What’s good to know
What’s good to know, is that I can’t help but hear Bobs voice when someone says this, then snigger, and feel embarrassed because they obviously don’t know why I laughing. Happened at work the other day, Cheers Bob😳😂😂

Clever and very, very funny though dark in places
Even better than his first book. A fantastic, feel good story with superb narration. Having Paul Whitehouse, Sally Phillips and Julie Maisey as co narrators really works!
Do read The Satsuma Complex first though! There’s a lot of history and character build up which you need to know in order to enjoy The Hotel Avocado thoroughly!
