This is hard to describe.
Which is probably to be expected from the author of The Hitch-Hikers Guide to the Galaxy.
Slightly dated now (set in the 1980s, we're now in 2025), this is a sort of time travelling whodunnit with a twist of romance thrown in, that probably deserves more to be read than to be described.
Not as famous as THHGTTG series, perhaps, but still worth reading.

First, the first scenes of this film where Larry (Andrew McCarthy) brushes off the mugger in Central Park, since makes me smile.
The story-line is very 1980s, fraud/embezzlement in a corporate atmosphere. The physical comedy by Terry Kiser was exactly what was needed. Who thought toting a dead body around could be so amusing?
