About this listen
Bathroom salesman Matt is at a crossroads. He has lost his job, he is about to be made homeless and his girlfriend has left him. He wants his luck to change and he wants things to go back to how they were. Out of the blue he is offered a job that comes with a free luxury apartment. He hopes this might be enough to tempt her back. But, as events unfold, it starts to dawn on him that perhaps she didn't leave of her own accord after all...
Praise for Bob Mortimer:
'As a comedian, Bob Mortimer spins a shaggy-dog story like nobody else' The Guardian
‘The much loved comic proves adept at noirish fiction in a debut whose surrealist humour sets it apart’ – Observer
‘Mortimer’s verbal specificity and off-kilter humour will keep his fans chuckling’ The Times
'There is a sweetness to his worldview that makes his writing gently poignant... Like Spike Milligan, the only vintage comic whose fiction is still read, Mortimer has managed to use a novel as a vehicle for his distinctive comedic voice' The Telegraph

Editorial Review
A quirky new caper
Whether you’re a longtime fan or new to his work,
The Long Shoe is an incredible evolution in Bob Mortimer’s style and storytelling—and sure to become his next big hit. A caper full of oddball characters, unbelievable circumstances, and a mystery that’ll keep you on the edge of your seat, Mortimer has managed to craft another tale that perfectly encapsulates his distinctive comedic style. Featuring an incredible cast of characters (and accents!), a talking cat, and a
literal long shoe, Mortimer delivers another listen that’s as riveting as it is funny. With a performance led by Mortimer—alongside comedians Diane Morgan and Arabella Weir—it’s simply perfect in audio.—Michael C., Audible Editor
