Perfect for you if...

  • You enjoy Richard Osman's crime capers and want something lighter but equally clever, with real warmth underneath the wit.
  • You appreciate protagonists who are ordinary, flawed, and genuinely likeable rather than hypercompetent.
  • You love stories where the mystery matters less than the people Gary meets along the way.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You want a locked-room puzzle or high-stakes thriller. This is cosy and character-driven, not plot-driven.
  • You prefer your comedians' work when they're doing observational stand-up, not building fictional worlds.
  • You need a conventional romance arc. This one's messier and more real.

About this book

Gary Thorn, a legal assistant, meets a woman at a pub while out with his coworker Brendan. Before he can learn her name, she leaves, but Gary notices the book she was reading: The Clementine Complex. When Brendan subsequently goes missing, Gary sets out to find the woman—whom he now calls Clementine—hoping she can provide answers. Gary's search takes him through the estates and pie shops of South London as he pursues his quest for information, and perhaps for love and excitement along the way. The story features a cast of distinct characters and unfolds as a mystery.
