Don't Shoot the Messenger: A riotous and hilarious satire about connections and second chances
They've changed. He hasn't. And that's the problem.
Alan Hope has spent his entire working life as a reporter for the local newspaper. Now in his early sixties, he's the newsroom dinosaur, firmly out of touch with the TikTok generation. So when his editor insists he starts an online blog, Alan treats it like free therapy. It's not like anyone is actually going to read it… right?
Wrong! Because the more Alan's life unravels – both personally and professionally – the more his brutally honest posts explode in popularity. Suddenly, the tight-knit town of Bashford is reading Alan's innermost thoughts…
His wife announces she no longer wants to grow old with him. His two grown children are more like strangers. His colleagues are mortified at the oversharing. Then he's forced to work with fellow reporter Lisa – young, ambitious and the epitomise of modern life. Everything Alan is not.
But can someone from a completely different generation help Alan reconnect with his own family? And can Alan – a newspaper relic who now actually hates newspapers – help Lisa uncover the truth about her father?
Perfect for fans of Beth O'Leary and Mike Gayle, Don't Shoot the Messenger is a charming comedy about family, friendship and finally embracing something new… even if you're a few decades late.

Here is my review for Don’t Shoot The Messenger by Rob Harris
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this witty and interesting story about Alan Hope who has worked for the local Bashford Gazette for yonks as a reporter. He's now in his early sixties and feels more out of touch than ever when introduced to TikTok. As they say, he is the office and newsroom dinosaur. Unfortunately, his editor, Henry, insists that Alan starts an online blog so he writes whatever he likes on it. Unfortunately his marriage breaks down, his children don't want to know him and he has no friends. So as work and private life unravel, Alan writes with brutal honesty, then his posts are read more frequently and gain popularity in Bashford. I totally enjoyed reading this well thought out story. The newspaper stories were very up-to-date, topical and typical small town stuff for a local paper. It was great to see Norwich get a mention, as I live there! The characters were interesting and their lives were very realistic. They played their parts very well. I liked the plot and it seemed to have been well thought out throughout the book. The descriptive writing was very good and helped me visualise the story as I was reading it. This is the first book I have read by this author but I would like to read more in the future.

If you’re looking for a book that feels like a breather from real life - with plenty of humour, heart, and a character you can’t help but root for - Don’t Shoot the Messenger absolutely delivers.
At its heart, we have Alan - firmly set in his ways and slightly out of step with the modern world - who finds himself unexpectedly sharing far more of his life than he ever intended. What unfolds is funny, chaotic, and at times quietly emotional, as things begin to unravel both personally and professionally.
I absolutely loved how real Alan felt. He’s not always easy to like - he can be stubborn, awkward, and unintentionally frustrating - but that’s what made him so compelling. I found myself laughing at him one minute and rooting for him the next.
The humour is spot on, especially in those moments where Alan’s honesty runs away with him. But what really stayed with me was the heart behind it all. Beneath the lighter tone, there’s a real sense of loneliness, change, and trying to find your place when the world has moved on without you - and that hit more than I expected.
I also really enjoyed the relationships, particularly the contrast between Alan and Lisa. It never felt overdone, just a natural, gradual shift that added warmth and a bit of hope to the story.
This is one of those reads that lets you properly switch off for a while. It’s warm, witty, and full of personality, with just enough emotional depth to make it linger after you’ve finished.
A genuinely uplifting, entertaining read - and one I’d happily recommend if you’re looking to escape into something relatable, heartfelt, and quietly reassuring.

This was my third read by this author and I had really enjoyed my first two, so was looking forward to this new release and to meeting some new characters.
I found it so easy to just fall straight into this read. Being used to the writing style and knowing that this would be packed with humour, I settled down for the duration and once again, couldn't put this down.
I absolutely loved Alan. A man in his sixties who was very set in his ways.
He reminded me so much of my dad - although I'm fast approaching this era of life myself now.
But Alan was very old school and having worked at the gazette for many years now, was looked upon as - and felt - the dinosaur of the office.
I loved that he was not just written off instantly and that his chief gave him a mission to bring him right up to date by making a blog.
However, poor Alan anticipated this being a total flop and thinking nobody would really read it, write absolutely any old thing..including all his thoughts and feelings.
As more and more people start to read his work, the fallout from this was both sad and predictable hilarious.
Although I couldn't help chuckling, I really did feel for Alan and was rooting for him to get his life back on track.
And who better to help him than the lovely Lisa - who honestly couldn't have been more different!
But that's what they say - the contrast worked beautifully and I really bought into this friendship that blossomed between the pair.
Like I said, this really had me reminiscing about my dad and as much as I was laughing along at Alan - this also highlighted the feelings and emotions that many people of this era have when they see so much around them changing - and like me, they don't always understand much of what's going on.
Another great read - which I devoured in just a couple of sittings.

I suspected when I started Don’t Shoot The Messenger that it would be a fun read. What I didn’t expect was the sensitivity and poignancy that appeared unexpectedly, and which added a whole new dimension to the story.
The story is split into blog posts written by the cynical Alan, who spends life stubbornly stuck in the past and doesn’t care if the woke generation knows it. Each little post is a snapshot into Bashford residents, and the not-so glamourous life of a Bashford Gazette journalist, but each also contributes in some way to the wider narrative and character arcs. For example, a horrifying incident which is quite simply reported has a much deeper impact on numerous people throughout the book.
I enjoyed the humour and sentiments of Alan’s bemusement with changes to his marriage and society through the decades, which comes across as tongue in cheek but with clues that he is more upset about it all than he’s willing to admit.
The cast of characters has it all, from those I wanted to cheer for and villains I would be booing and hissing if they walked on to a pantomime stage. This is a fun romp and I liked the way it ended too - simple, just the way Alan would like it.

I enjoyed Don't Shoot The Messenger! It was funny and made me smile. The story was really good (and relevant) and I enjoyed the concept.
The cover was lovely. The little cartoon was so cute. I loved the old typewriter! The orange was very visually striking. It was a great design.
The writing was excellent and the story flowed well. I enjoyed the use of humour used throughout the book.
The setting was good. The book was based in a town called Bashford. This was fun and I'm not sure if the town is real but it had a smidge of a contemporary feel. Though not out and out.
The characters were so much fun. They were deep and well thought out. I adored Alan. I feel his pain, feeling at is if you're out of touch with the TikTok generation! I liked Lisa too. I liked the dynamic she has with Alan. It was just so wonderfully written!
I definitely recommend this book. It was fun and very enjoyable. It was a pleasure to read it.

Thank you to Zooloo's Book Tours and the author for this ARC.
This book is a witty story about an unlikeable - to me, though I don't think all readers agree! - journalist whose newspaper career, zest for life, and social skills were all left in the last century. In contrast to other books about people who are a little past middle-aged, Alan is stuck in a lot of his boomer ways, and the stark contrast between him and the younger employees really highlights his personality flaws.
I think this book cleverly shows you the downwards spiral in Alan's life to build up sympathy, and then by the time you've started to warm to him, he gets a glimmer of hope so that the reader can experience that positivity growing with the character.
I also really liked the way the protagonist's children were written to show the parenting that had raised them, or perhaps in spite of it, and the generational healing that started to happen towards the end.

Turn the TV off. Disconnect the WiFi. Put your phone on silent. Forget about all the terrible happenings in the world today. Pick up a good book...This book!
Rob Harris paints a perfect picture of the sadly declining interest in local newspapers and their battle for survival in a world overburdened with social media and fake news.
There's plenty here to laugh about. It would be impossible not to have empathy for Alan and the rest of the crew at the Bashford Gazette. I loved the moments of pure slapstick comedy and the slightly wicked scenes of black humour but this novel is also poignant and full of pathos.
The characters are so well drawn I almost expect to bump into one of them the next time I walk down the high street. And the next time I go shopping I will be sure to buy the local paper (for the first time ever).
I can't recommend this book highly enough.

It’s a classic, slightly wince-inducing nightmare: a newsroom dinosaur like Alan Hope blinking at a ring light while his marriage and dignity go down the drain in real-time. Rob Harris has written a sharp autopsy of the modern media landscape, where the filter between a man’s brain and his keyboard has completely disintegrated.
This isn't just a midlife crisis with better Wi-Fi; it’s a study of accidental honesty. Alan treats his blog like a confessional, oblivious to the fact the walls are made of glass. The friction between him and his TikTok-fluent colleague, Lisa, provides the real spark—two people from opposite ends of a collapsing industry trying to salvage something human from the digital wreckage.

Alan is a cantankerous old newspaper man in a world where print is a dying form. He also has a blog where he shares the story behind the stories, along with his jaded commentary on the people, places and events he covers.
Alan's safe, yet unchallenging professional life is thrown into disarray with the arrival of a new marketing manager who seems more interested in clicks than facts. Despite raging against this new world, Alan has to choose between adapting or being put to pasture. And when his blog turns into a confessional and exposes more than he intended, his life is turned upside down in more ways than one.
Cleverly written and highly entertaining with plenty of laughs. I really enjoyed this book.

This book really taps into the chaos of modern communication - especially how quickly honesty can turn into exposure. Alan is frustrating at times, but also pretty human. I didn’t always agree with him, but I can definitely understand him.
The dynamic between Alan and Lisa adds a nice generational clash, and there’s a subtle emotional thread about family and reconnection that gives the story more heart than you expect.
This is a messy, relatable, and thought-provoking read about being “outdated” in a world that never stops updating. Would highly recommend if you like character-driven stories with humour, awkward truths, and a bit of emotional punch.

Having never read one of Harris' books before now I had no idea what awaited me behind the cover. Described as being perfect for fans of Mike Gayle and Beth O'Leary, both authors whose books I love, I had an inkling it wasn't going to let me down...
It was a fun, easy reading, written with humour, uplifting slice of life. Alan the office dinosaur's life to be precise.
I liked him, he was a great character. While his honesty wasn't always appreciated he was so easy to take to heart.
Enjoyably uplifting.

This was a really good read, very enjoyable and fresh. I bonded with Alan from the start and empathised with his struggles with social media.
Alan bared his inner thoughts and soul in his blog and failed to recognise that others may find it interesting.
Anyone who has dealt with the public will know the assorted and unusual things that can crop up and they are abundant in his profession.
I laughed at many of the events and loved the book.

This was such a fun and interesting read. I enjoyed the format and reading the entries. I liked the characters and how real they all felt. It was as if I was part of the community where this was happening. The emotions really pulled me in and made connecting to the characters easy. You felt the ebb and flow of what they were going through. The humor in this was perfectly timed and witty. This is a great book to disconnect from reality and dive into.

This was such a fun read, the characters are really written, the humour got me laughing and book flowed so well.
The local stories were so great I loved them, plus add Alan and Lisa and I was hooked, it was page turner, easy to read and captivating right from the start.
The story felt like real life and such a good concept of a traditional newspaper reporter navigating the field of blogging.
Highly recommended fun read.

This is England
The gamut of contradictions that is England through the eyes of a lifelong local journalist seemingly totally lacking in ambition, for a hanging on by the fingernails local weekly newspaper. As well as questioning "progress", especially in the field of newsreporting, it is also deceptively thought-provoking in coverage of hyper-local, petty controversies, national scandals and global events.

Alan works for the Bashford Gazette, a struggling local newspaper, survive on advertising and local events the paper is a relic of by-gone days. Lisa arrives as an unpaid intern, full of youth and enthusiasm. As the newspaper fights to survive, the owners decide to sell.
This is a likeable tale of the everyday struggles of Alan and the newspaper, funny and irreverent and enjoyable.

This is not a comedy. There is some very good humor. Mostly the book is about the dreadful socioeconomic conditions of the western world. The book did a good job of illustrating some of the less pleasant aspects of our existence. I did not see joyful resolutions or even much hope for the future. If you are inclined to worry about civilization you may find this book does not raise your spirits.

I rarely give 5 stars, but this book deserves it. Funny, vulnerable, well written with a relatable and likable main character. Good descriptions and development of other characters. You will laugh and cheer on Alan! A delightful book!
April 7, 2026
This is a good book about an old newspaper reporter that is stuck in the dark ages . It is funny and shows how people can change . Alan starts writing a blog that he thinks nobody will read so he goes for it. Well written with good character.

Surprisingly good.
Surprising as it took me quite a while to settle into the format and engage with the humour. I'm so pleased a kept with it and folowed the development of the central character.
A great little tale of right winning out in the end.
Let's hope reality catches up soon and we can say the same when the maniac across the pond has vanished up his own arse.
