The Hotel Avocado cover

In this engaging novel, Gary Thorn faces a tough choice between his comfortable life in London and a new adventure in Brighton, all while dealing with unexpected dangers and quirky characters. The Hotel Avocado awaits.

"The Hotel Avocado" is the latest novel by bestselling author Bob Mortimer, known for his unique blend of humor and storytelling. This exclusive edition features charming squirrel-themed sprayed edges and quirky endpapers inspired by Brighton, adding a delightful touch for collectors and fans alike.

The story follows Gary Thorn, who finds himself at a crossroads in life. He is torn between the comfort of his legal job in London, where he enjoys simple pleasures like sharing pies with his neighbor Grace and her dog, Lassoo, and the allure of a new beginning in Brighton. His girlfriend, Emily, is about to launch The Hotel Avocado, a venture that could change everything for both of them. However, the pressure of making the right choice weighs heavily on Gary, as he fears disappointing those he cares about.

As the plot unfolds, Gary's life takes a sinister turn with the introduction of the enigmatic Mr. Sequence, who brings an air of danger and intrigue. Set against a backdrop of launderette-scented vape smoke, Gary's journey becomes a gripping tale of survival. He longs for a fulfilling life, but the stakes are raised as he grapples with the very real possibility of losing it all. Mortimer's signature humor shines through, making this novel a captivating read that balances comedy with darker themes, ultimately exploring the quest for happiness and the lengths one will go to secure it.
