A bawdy, dark comedy about finding true love.
Pete Walker is on a quest to find the perfect woman, aided by his irresponsible best friend. Pete wants that Romeo & Juliet level of passion, whereas his friend thinks Shrek & Donkey is the benchmark for love. Is uninhibited fitness fanatic Penny the one, cat crazy Miranda or muscle-bound Lila, whose hobbies include car theft? Dating is difficult at the best of times, but in a decaying city with a serial killer on the loose, just about impossible.
Meanwhile, 24-year-old Maze, finds that her life has already hit a dead-end. Single and in a job she hates. Lurching from one bad relationship to another and not knowing where life is heading. She can't get a break. Will a chance encounter change their lives or is it all bound to end badly? Especially as Pete is suffering from memory loss and keeps waking up in strange places - dressed in a rather fetching all-black outfit with matching leather gloves.
Narrated by the talented TV & stage actress - Sarah Kempton - currently on a UK tour in Bernard Slade's - Same Time, Next Year.
A British Comedy with Adult Humour.
The Audiobook Review - ★★★★★ - A superb example of a dark romantic comedy. I could picture this being adapted into a funny, if rather bawdy, romantic comedy for the screen. The story played out so vividly in my mind, a mark of a great story being told.
