Summary

A laugh-out-loud comedy in the vein of Spike Milligan and Tom Sharpe. Irreverent and a little bit surreal this book is a damn good laugh.
It’s 1932 and four men have been brutally murdered in the village pub of St Mary Mediocre just outside the town of Slagbottom. The local police are baffled and the local busybody, Miss Marble, is unavailable, she’s been knocked off her bike by a passing Belgian tourist. So the local force calls for the help of the most famous police detective of the age, Detective Inspector Aloysius Corner of Scotland Yard. Corner of the Yard, as he is known far and wide, has an unusual method of solving crime … he leaves it all up to his assistant Detective Sergeant Impetigo Dogsbreath. But Sergeant Dogsbreath has his own problems; he was born in Slagbottom and left as soon as he was able. Now he bitterly resents being forced back to the town to confront his own personal history.

    She's the Queen of Mean, until one chaotic Christmas Eve night threatens to blow her life and budget wide apart! 
Caroline’s got frugality down to a fine art. She can make a tin of soup stretch for days, considers “reduced to clear” her love language, and thinks Christmas is just a daft excuse for people to throw their money away on tinsel trimmed tat. 
But Christmas Eve night takes a turn when her best mate, Marlene, drops in for a chat. Lovely, right? Except Marlene’s been dead for seven years and she’s got a message for Caroline, she will be visited by three spirits and if she doesn’t pay attention, her future’s looking bleaker than the contents of her fridge freezer. 
Caroline’s convinced she’s having a hallucination. Ghosts? Surely not! But as the night goes on, she starts to wonder if she might just learn something worth more than her latest discount voucher. And for someone who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing, this might be the wake-up call she didn’t see coming. 
Perfect for fans of Anstey Harris, Dawn French and The Thursday Murder Club – A Christmas Caroline is a hilarious, heartwarming festive tale about second chances, eccentric family ties and learning that some things in life are worth the splurge. 
Laugh-out-loud funny, delightfully quirky, and full of Christmas cheer – this is the holiday novel you didn’t know you needed.

    From the outrageously filthy and oddly innocent comedienne and star of the powerful 2015 film I Smile Back Sarah Silverman comes a memoir—her first book—that is at once shockingly personal, surprisingly poignant, and still pee-in-your-pants funny. If you like Sarah’s television show The Sarah Silverman Program, or memoirs such as Chelsea Handler’s Are You There Vodka? It’s Me Chelsea and Artie Lange’s Too Fat to Fish, you’ll love The Bedwetter.

    She’s a wager, a game… 
I’ll pretend she’s mine, such a pretty little lie. 
I’m exactly the type of guy Elena should stay away from. 
Sweet, innocent women like her don’t look for relationships in motorcycle clubs. Especially one as classy and out of my league as Elena. 
I can’t resist swiping right on her dating profile for fun. I never imagined we’d be a match. I know I’d only be a quick thrill for her, but I’m getting tired of the women at the clubhouse anyway. 
Then my club brother Viper goes and ups the stakes: he bets me one thousand dollars that I won’t be able to have a relationship with Elena. 
With my wicked smile and flirty charm, she won’t be able to resist me. And like my other hookups, I can’t let it get personal.  
Until I let my guard down and she becomes my ride or die. 
Which means I’ve got to make sure as hell that Elena never finds out about our bet…

This visit starts him on a string of adventures that find him getting charged by rhinoceroses, chased by African natives, and facing down a larger-than-life gorilla on his own. Of course, this is only the start of his adventure in to the land of the gorillas.Please note: this book has some words now considered derogatory, which are used in a generic way without any derogatory meaning.
