About the Author:
Simon Brett worked as a producer in radio and television before taking up writing full-time. He is the author of the much-loved Fethering mysteries, Charles Paris series and the Mrs Pargeter novels. In 2014 he was awarded the Crime Writers' Association's prestigious Diamond Dagger for sustained excellence and contribution to crime writing, and in 2016 was awarded an OBE for his services to literature. He lives in an Agatha Christie-style village in the South Downs.
From AudioFile:
The multitalented Simon Brett often reads his own works--with delightful results. Here he gets into the psyche of Bill, a minor TV personality whose wife of 40 years abandons him for another man because she has always known he is Òshallow.Ó Bill reacts by diving into hormonal overdrive, punctuated by periods of depression. Brett excels at portraying BillÕs transition from faithful husband to randy divorcŽ to woman-hating barfly and, ultimately, to happiness. His ex-wife later succumbs to lung cancer, and if a description of a funeral can be hilarious, BillÕs is. Brett is no less successful playing the various women in BillÕs life--his ex-wifeÕs best friend, in particular. This is a mature coming-of-age novel, wickedly read.
