A heart-warming tale of office life, homicide and biscuits, which was longlisted for the Bath Novel Award 2017... Jonathon Fairfax, the world's most socially awkward hero, works for a giant corporation where he specialises in muttering 'um' and tripping over bins. When he accidentally discovers a colossal corporate conspiracy, it soon becomes clear that someone will do anything to keep it a secret - including murder. Listen to this audiobook on its own or as a follow-up to The Perpetual Astonishment of Jonathon Fairfax - a bestseller that was shortlisted for the Bath Novel Award 2014.
'It's funny, it's daft-yet-relatable, it's still a nerve-jangly thriller and it moves at a cracking pace. In fact, if you're stuck in a bit of a reading rut, it's just the palate cleanser you need." Emerald Street
'This one is even better than the one before. Buy!" John Lenahan (bestselling author, magician and voice of the toaster in Red Dwarf)
When Jonathon Fairfax accidentally helps a murderer bump off Sarah Morecambe, the secretary of a senior politician, he sets off a chain of events that astonishes him. Jonathon is wrong-footed by even the most everyday things, so he's particularly startled to find himself caught up in a conspiracy that goes right to the heart of government. Teaming up with a suave private investigator, a glamorous grannie and the probable love of his life, Jonathon must confront his greatest fears - including talking to girls and balaclava-clad killers - and answer some very difficult questions. Who murdered Sarah Morecambe? What is the strange secret that unites the entire British government? And what exactly does it feel like to kiss a real-life woman?
With its naïve, reluctant hero and wry look at life, The Perpetual Astonishment of Jonathon Fairfax has been compared to books by Douglas Adams, Carl Hiaasen and PG Wodehouse.
