You Can't Make Old Friends

My review -
Joe
is a private detective, currently out of favour with the police. He’s now
getting so little work that he can’t pay his rent and an old client is suing him.
Then his old schoolfriend’s body is found washed up on Brighton beach, badly
disfigured. Joe recognises him.
There
are several strands going on here, with drug dealers, Joe’s old (only) friend
and his family and a downright difficult female DCI, newly arrived from London.
As one of the characters said to Joe, ‘You’re a good man, but not a nice one’.
I really enjoyed this story which had an edginess which gave it flavour. I particularly
liked some of the expressions used in the writing – cliché is isn’t. A great
read.
