Blacklisted by the police. Being sued by a client. And broke.
Things can’t get any worse for Brighton’s No. 1 Private Detective, Joe Grabarz, in this blistering debut novel from award-winning writer Tom Trott.
That’s when his best friend’s body washes up on the beach.
Could it really have been 10 years? What happened? How could his life have ended like this? He needs answers.
But with the city in the grips of organised crime, and struggling to deal with an influx of legal highs, who cares about just another dead drug dealer?
Joe, that’s who. After all, you can’t make old friends.
Warning: this book contains adult language, sex and drug references, and violence (basically, all the good stuff).

Joe Grabarz, the main character, was complicated and simple and intense and low-key and a whole list of contradictions. Faced with trying to solve the murder of his boyhood friend, this mix of emotions compelled the story. The ending was insane. I'm so glad there is a book two!
The narration was nothing short of perfection. The twists and turns and emotional highs and lows were delivered so well that I forgot I was listening to a book.
Totally creditworthy!
So glad there is a book two!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes, if the friend likes detective stories, noir-esque characters he will be in for a treat.What did you like best about this story?
'You’re a good man, but not a nice one’ I liked the result oriented, streetwise, gritty main character.Any additional comments?
Raymond Chandler in Brighton? Mr. Trott has his own style and a great sense of place, I really enjoyed his book.I liked it,.. I hope there is more

What did you love best about You Can't Make Old Friends?
The imagery of a City in transition.... the City of Brighten has had many ups and downs overthe years and is a fitting venue for a murder mystery.
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
No but the writing and the narrator kept my interest to complete the book.Have you listened to any of Christopher James Saint John Courtney’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No but will listen to some of his other books.Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
When our hero becomes aware that his former friend was murdered.Any additional comments?

The story has some interesting twists and the overall plot is a good one, I enjoyed listening to it. It does however end quite abruptly, it doesn't feel like an ending, it just stops.
The narration is well done, I liked the character voices and the pacing is well done.
