About this listen

Every good Dick needs a sidekick.

Actor Tom Lewis’s world came crashing down when a honey trap and tabloid expose outed him and put pay to his flourishing career. The housewives favourite was most well-known for his role as Detective Fox in the quaint British series 'Malmesbury Murders'. But after the media speculation about his sexuality, the show is on hiatus and Tom hasn't worked for six months.

Now things are getting serious, money is running out and Tom needs a job desperately. So when his agent offers him a seasonal acting job, he reluctantly agrees and takes on the role of Santa for a top London department store. This decision changes Tom's luck. When Tom overhears two unidentified store workers discussing a job to get a little Christmas bonus he realizes the 'job' is of an illegal sort. Now, Tom could call the police, but then again, wouldn't it be great for his flagging career if Detective Fox saved the day? So Fox is on the case, and as every good Dick needs a sidekick, Tom decides a sexy young elf named Eli Mason will fit the role, in more ways than one!

FYI. This is a cozy M/M Romantic comedy.

This was a light entertaining read/listen. The setup was silly and fun but got a little bogged down in descriptions of rooms, and the entertainments the store was providing for the holidays.

Gary Furlong was as entertaining as always.

This is a fun Christmas novella about Tom who's an actor who has taken a gig as Santa at a
department store after having his career put on hold due to a scandal.

Tom meets his Eli who is his elf helper at the store.

This is a funny and clever update on a british mystery, even though this was a funny caper (hence the title) it had some hot sex in it as well. Tom and Eli make a great couple, I can't wait to see what happens next with them and hopefully solving a few more mysteries along the way.

As usual Gary Furlong did a great job narrating.

I started listening to this immediately after I finished The Shooting Season by the same author. I was certainly drawn in, but could only make slow progress with the audiobook due to the holiday season and illness. So I ended up buying the ebook too.

I love both the story and the narration. Tom Lewis is a brilliant character, superbly brought to life by Gary Furlong. His relationship with Eli the Elf is slightly unusual and all the better for that! The wealth of secondary characters adds to both book and narration and I definitely want to read more about this cast. I also greatly enjoyed the the not so subtle nods to British TV shows and institutions. Truly excellent!

The characters of Det Fox (Tom Lewis) and Eli Elf (Eli Mason) are lovable. they work together and the mystery just adds to the suspense. Great steaming chemistry between the couple. Can't wait to see what the future holds for this couple. Gary did a great job narrating. Given a copy for an honest review.

Great Christmas story
