Why this must be read:

Kitty Fisher is one of my favourite writers in the fandom, and it was rather a toss up as to which of her fantastic stories I would recommend this month. In the end, I just had to go for this one, which is satisfying without being too sweet, entertaining without straying into parody and believably real.

Excerpt:

The road to Damascus, as far as William Bodie was concerned, was in the car park at Finchley Central station. Hardly the most exotic location for your world view to be unceremoniously turned upside down, but after thirty years of fairly cynical existence, it hardly came as a surprise. St Paul might get sun, sand, and Nubian dancing girls to ease his way onto the path of the righteous, but W.A.P. Bodie got rain, tarmac, and the acerbic tongue of Ray Doyle.

He leant against the Capri and shook his head. Who said life was fair?

Though it was hardly the path of the righteous he was heading for, that much was certain. The righteous would have taken one look at Doyle and scurried off in the opposite direction. Bodie on the other hand had been drawn like an iron filing to a magnet, prepared to put up with almost anything to keep their friendship alive.

And had never really wondered why.

Until today.
