Slight risk of this becoming a HIGH VAULTAGE fan blog but I don't care because 1) don't put the editor in charge if you don't want that and 2) HIGH VAULTAGE HAS BEEN SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2024 BOLLINGER EVERYMAN WODEHOUSE PRIZE FOR COMIC FICTION! @victoriocity have once again kicked in the doors of comedy and stomped on the competition.
Want to know who else was shortlisted for this prize? Gollancz legend Sir Terry Pratchett (GNU). Here's a picture of him enjoying his bottle of Bollinger with his pig, two parts of the prize when he won for SNUFF:
So yes, certified: Officially One Of The Funniest Books Of 2024, HIGH VAULTAGE!!
Another PHENOMENAL review for Smash Hit Super Funny Bestseller HIGH VAULTAGE, from the chaps over at Metastellar.
If you don’t know what to read next, I highly recommend this one. If plot-forward mysteries that turn into big complots are your jam, pick this book. If you enjoy detailed and unhinged backdrops with some lovable detectives running around the city trying to find police loopholes to solve the case, this book will not disappoint. And lastly, if you’re just looking for something that makes you laugh, High Vaultage will certainly give you a good time.
If you're still looking for Christmas presents, you can grab a copy of HIGH VAULTAGE from the retailer of your choice (although if you go to the Grove Bookshop in Ilkley, they have some shiny exclusive signed special editions too)
Thanks also the Metastellar for the gorgeous review. They have a fab youtube channel as well if you want to check them out.

Happy North American publication day to HIGH VAULTAGE, by @victoriocity! And many thanks to @terribleminds for the boost. (not least to my ego since I get a shout-out)

It's my birthday today!! To celebrate for me, why not buy a copy of HIGH VAULTAGE - the Wodehouse award-nominated Sunday Times Bestseller - which is the merest £13.40 in Amazon's Black Friday deal:
Alternatively, if you want to limit the money you give to Mr Bezos (fair), it's available in all good bookstores! If your local bookstore doesn't have it, you're allowed to tut, shake your head in sad disappointment and say "I see this isn't a good bookstore".
