  Packed with hair-raising escapades and laugh out-loud moments, this is the perfect tonic to cheer everyone up this year. Newly divorced and straining at the leash, Ben can't wait to get back into the game. His bunny-boiler ex doesn't want him, but she doesn't want anyone else to have him either so she's bought herself a powerful pair of binoculars and it's game on! Ben moves back in with his overbearing and psychopathic mother who lost her 'baby boy' to marriage once and will do anything to stop him leaving again. Eager to escape, he calls on his trusty side-kick Dickie Manse 'brains-in-his-pants' and together they find themselves renting a flat above a chip shop where their daft antics drive the Italian owner up the wall. But single life isn't all it's cracked up to be. Ben falls for the dubious charms of Nancy despite everyone warning him off. He staggers from one disaster to another, unaware that Poppy, the girl from the dog kennels where he works, is head-over-heels in love with him!

  A light-hearted and comic romp from the nation's favourite storyteller and author of The Loner. Footloose, fancy free and ready to get back in the game, newly divorced Ben is back home with mum which is just where she wants him. But best mate Dickie has other ideas, and soon they are sharing a flat, up to all sorts and plotting Ben's future romantic adventures. But being single isn't all it's cracked up to be. Ben staggers from one disaster to another - all under the beady gaze of his ex, who may not want him but doesn't want anyone else to have him either! And then there's Ben's co-worker Poppy, who seems very interested in his escapades too - could she have plans of her own? Laugh-out-loud funny and based on true stories that you just couldn't make up, Divorced and Deadly is the perfect feel-good read.

  Bestselling author Josephine Cox brings us a hilarious and entertaining tale for next Christmas! I'm 36 years of age; handsome and fit. I'm not as tall as I'd like to be, nor am I rippling with chest-muscles. But I reckon I'm a dead ringer for Hugh Grant. After years spent with 'the dreaded Laura' Ben is finally free! A new divorcee he can't wait to get back in the game and sets about writing a list of all the things he has to do: / NOT sign up to the gym. (He's fit enough anyway). / Smoke cigars -- they're much more sophisticated than cigarettes. / NOT contact Laura and that includes hiding in the bushes to spy on her. / Play the field! As Ben enters the world of singledom with his sidekick Dickie Manse (brains-in-his-pants), Ben finds himself on a whole new adventure and has plenty of fun along the way.
