From Amazon UK Best Selling author Steven Primrose-Smith comes his first novel, George Pearly Is A Miserable Old Sod.

Seventy-year-old British ex-pat miserymonger George Pearly lives on the Costa del Sol, all alone except for his ancient, three-legged dog, Ambrose. George hates his life and everybody in it. These feelings are mutual. Everyone hates George too. From this unhappy equilibrium the situation quickly deteriorates. First, George discovers he is dying of a mystery illness. Then his 35 year-old ape-child nephew, Kevin, moves into George's tiny and once tranquil home with a passion for Vimto, Coco Pops and slobbing around in his greying underpants. Worst of all, George's neighbours start to disappear and all accusing fingers point towards George. Pull up a sun lounger, grab yourself a piña colada and enjoy a murder-mystery romp on Spain's sunny southern coast.©2015 Steven Primrose-Smith (P)2020 W. F.

I read this book years ago and it was one of the funniest books I have ever read. I downloaded it with Audible and I had forgotten how much I loved it. I love all the characters, even George, but far and away Ambrose stole the show. The narrator was excellent.

Masterpiece

At 70 I can, and did, enjoy this book which was excellently narrated with excellent characteristics. The plot is convoluted and elements outlandish but drips with chuckles.

As long as you can accept pre-woke life
