THE NUMBER ONE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
CHOSEN BY WATERSTONES AS ONE OF THEIR BEST CRIME & THRILLER BOOKS OF 2024

'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©2024 Bob Mortimer (P)2024 Simon & Schuster UK
Best of 2024 Editors Select Literature & Fiction Suspense Witty Feel-Good

Editorial Review

A Mortimer fan is born
Truth: I’m new to the Bob Mortimer game. As I’ve gotten more into UK comedy this year, it’s been nice discovering legendary talent with full catalogues of work to catch up on and get acquainted with. The comedian and author’s latest novel, The Hotel Avocado, is everything you want it to be – funny, smart, compelling. As a newly minted Mortimer fan, I found it was a great place to start digging into his prolific body of work. — Aaron S., Audible Editor

Viva Tomatoes!

I really enjoyed this wonderfully written audio book. The characters were real, the dialog was spot on, and witty. I had several late nights listening it was that good.
