What makes it funny?
Jackson’s undignified introduction supplies Leland with a joke he refuses to retire. His courtship includes flowers and talk of an inflatable doll, making Jackson’s attempts to maintain professional distance increasingly difficult.
The comedy at work
Leland treats a dangerous investigation as an opportunity to flirt. Jackson’s caution gives the outrageous banter someone to push against, while the romance develops alongside the criminal case.
Try this if…
Readers who enjoy a male couple, sexually frank jokes and an extravagant flirt pursuing a more restrained partner have plenty to work with here.
Good to know
Expect sexual humor, guns and a romance involving a professional killer. The crimes and injuries carry real danger within the playful setup.
