Why this must be read: It's funny, clever, and centred on Sam & Gene's buddy-cop dynamic. There's differing points of view, unreliable narration, banter, and glee. It says so much about who these characters are, all in a story that will have you grinning from ear to ear.


Sometimes Sam would look at Gene, up and down, and take in all his faults and foibles, and still come out of it thinking: it could be worse. This was not one of those times. Gene just registered as loud and obnoxious and seemingly ever-present, and Sam wondered why he was there, right there in the pub, and should he go back to the flat, god, just some peace and quiet –

"You in?"

And yet somehow, through all this, the greater impulse in Sam was to say yes, and it never ceased to puzzle him.
