Have to say, he's got the longest author bio I've ever seen on Amazon. He just needs to add what he had for breakfast and where he gets his groceries from to complete it!

Nope, I just remember the title.
It's got 100% 5 star reviews to be fair. From one review. Better than my book record though.

Well, today is the day (finally) of my book launch 
So if anyone fancies a comedy crime caper (sort of like a Guy Ritchie movie in book form according to half the early reviews) then why not give it a whirl. Richard Osman won't miss a handful of sales, maybe take a punt on someone you haven't read, but whose... avatar... you know moderately well
Paperback/Hardback/Kindle available now on Amazon, audiobook coming in next couple of days.
Do feel free to peruse some of the early reviews on Goodread before committing your hard earned.

No problems with the Kindle version.
Rattled through the first 3 chapters last night, good stuff.
