Yes, it's probably sort of cheating to count this for my reading challenge but hey, if it's there...
This is the second audio story with Norton and Andy and I love it with all my heart. It's funny, suspenseful, and delves a little deeper into Andy and Norton's friendship.
Set in 1950s London, we get to learn more about Norton and his life there, which means a very fun, occasionally painful, and apparently historically accurate-ish (if we disregard the aliens) exploration of Soho's gay scene. Featuring a hot dude with an awful Italian(?) accent, an angry mob boss, and a fake live drawing class.
This one plus "Ghost Mission" have really become my go-to comfort audios. I adore Norton and I wish we could see him in the show. I love his friendship with Andy, his snark and sometimes unexpected depth, and the fact that you never really know which side he's on. Samuel Barnett does an incredible job of portraying him (also, how cool that this character was created for him?). It's also a lot more fun than I expected to get to know Andy a bit better, as he's truly lovely. He really gets to shine here, and it's great to see. 10/10 would recommend if you're a Torchwood fan.
