About this audiobook
"He’s given his father such relentless cause to turn in his grave they might well have buried him in a rotisserie grill."
When misanthropic London food critic Marcus Tuckwell swears to write the foulest review of all time in an attempt to resurrect his flatlining career, the last thing he expects is to be met with life-affirming kindness and humanity by its intended target.
From the overcooked mind of funnyman Hughie Shepherd-Cross comes a pitch-black satire skewering London's restaurant critics and serving them their own arses under a hot cloche. Arrive in a taxi, leave in a hearse.

"Finally the muse has smiled upon me. My god the girl’s been coy. But… food of this quality. A chef of this fragility. The stars have aligned, my friend. The stars are aligned. Look, I guess what I’m trying to say is, soon there’ll be a nice chef-sized hole in the graveyard across the road. Vacancy for a cook..."
