Über diesen Titel

When Jonathon Fairfax accidentally helps a murderer bump off Sarah Morecambe, the secretary of a senior politician, he sets off a chain of events that astonishes him. Jonathon is wrong-footed by even the most everyday things, so he's particularly startled to find himself caught up in a conspiracy that goes right to the heart of government. Teaming up with a suave private investigator, a glamorous granny and the probable love of his life, Jonathon must confront his greatest fears - including talking to girls and balaclava-clad killers - and answer some very difficult questions. Who murdered Sarah Morecambe? What is the strange secret that unites the entire British government? And what exactly does it feel like to kiss a real-life woman?

With its naïve, reluctant hero and wry look at life, The Perpetual Astonishment of Jonathon Fairfax has been compared to books by Douglas Adams, Carl Hiaasen and PG Wodehouse.

Satirical & witty. A good fun listen, without being shallow. Definately not predictable. I definately enjoyed this & would recommend.

Funny, fast and slow at the same time

Somehow different. I liked it even though it took me a while to get into it.

If you are terribly missing the wit of a Terry Pratchett this one is for you. The absurdity of human beings in social Interactions condensed in one of the most entertaining mystery books I know. I grunted of laughter in public listening to this brilliant audio book and live texted quotes to my sister. Go and treat yourself and give your abs a proper workout, I promise you wont regret it!

Ermmmm....naturally :;))
