Comedian Bob Mortimer returns with a new cozy crime audiobook, "The Long Shoe," brought to life by sharp performances from Diane Morgan, Arabella Weir, and Mortimer himself.
The story follows Matt Giles, an unlucky bathroom salesman. After losing his job and facing eviction, his girlfriend Harriet leaves him. Matt's luck seems to change when a stranger offers him a new job with a luxury apartment. He hopes the new home will make Harriet return.
The mystery is filled with Mortimer's signature quirky style. It includes a talking cat named Goodmonson and whimsical language. For example, Matt describes trying to recognize a face as "trying to find a mouse’s handbag in a builder’s skip."
