About this listen
It’s 2006, and terror scaremongering in the media has rattled the residents of sleepy, suburban Dunlop Crescent. When a Maori family moves into number 14, the local cranks assume they are Middle Eastern terrorists hell-bent on destroying the Australian way of life. Rumour has it that they plan to turn their house to face Mecca.
This sets off an extraordinary chain of events that embroils the entire neighbourhood as well as cynical media figures, bumbling antiterrorist police and a gang of white supremacists with a radical plan to wake up the country and ‘preserve Australian values’.
At the centre of it all is Gordon, a retired widower, who just wants a bit of peace and quiet. Deadly Kerfuffle is a smart, riveting and incredibly funny novel inspired by actual letters to the editor in a local newspaper. Through biting satire and a cast of unforgettable characters, it’s an insight into the kind of paranoia that could only ever blossom in the quietest and safest of places.

a very witty slice of Australiana
So many witty one liners, so much fun, so many laugh out loud moments. I had a lot of fun listening to this tale, to this Aussie yarn that spins out of control. Tony Martin knows how to turn a phrase and play on words. He has woven a very clever set of stories that individually are funny but when they are all meshed together chaos rules and shenanigans follow.

Great fun!
This is a witty Aussie yarn reflects the Melbournian culture perfectly! I loved all the characters and their shenanigans.

Top comedy/thriller
Tony Martin is one of the funniest buggers around; anything by him is guaranteed comedy gold. But Deadly Kerfuffle works great as a thriller as well. Tony works in plenty of great humour but never at the expense of the story. It's full of great characters that you wouldn't expect in a thriller. Great fun.
Mike Bishop does a great job with the reading; delivers the jokes and twists punchily and gives the characters life.

An eccentric story plot, comedy/espionage .
Off kilter story of tinfoil hat wearing residents, arson, vendettas and obscure theories against the oppressed.
However the narrative should have been done by the author, as he has quite the ability of character voices and and array of pots and pans to have made this a great audible adventure, that Tony Martin and Mr Pots&Pans fans would have appreciated .

Deadly, but glorious
It's such a lovely character study, and I loved every minute of it. It takes the utter piss and resonates so strongly with mid 2000s Australia.
While the narrator did a brilliant job, I honestly wish Tony could've done it himself. If you like Tony's work, please, make sure you listen!

Very different to what I would normally choose to read/listen to. enjoyable, odd, funny and weird.
I would like to suggest the production team research Maori pronunciation, grated a bit for a kiwi listener.

Fun Characters
Enjoyed the eccentric characters in this story. Wasn't helped by the performance. I reckon Tony Martin could've done a better job with narration.
