This is a comedy caper as an unlikely duo find themselves starting a new job and it turning out not to be what they thought. Could they be in over their heads. They aren't the brightest tools in the box, but they definitely are funny.
I found the authors writing easy to read and follow, and the fact it took me a little longer to read is definitely on me, I have a bit much going on in my head right now and sometime reading was really hard to do. But I admit that when I did pick up the book, even with its darker themes, it still did make me laugh.
I liked the banter between Jack and Caulter, as well as between John and Billy.
The author is great at causing confusion and sending us down the wrong path and does a fab job of tying it all up at the end.
