From beloved comedian and bestselling memoirist Bob Mortimer comes a brilliantly quirky and darkly funny debut novel — The Satsuma Complex. When legal assistant Gary meets a myster ious woman in a pub and his colleague goes missing the next day, his mundane life takes a wildly unpredictable turn. With the help of a talking squirrel (yes, really), a pocketful of satsumas, and his very British awkwardness, Gary embarks on a surreal detective journey that is as warm-hearted as it is weird. A perfect blend of cosy mystery and surreal comedy, Mortimer’s debut is packed with charm, wit, and offbeat twists that keep you guessing — and smiling — until the final page. Show more
