The Hotel Avocado by Bob Mortimer

The Hotel Avocado by Bob Mortimer

THE NUMBER ONE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER '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
