I read this but I'm not sure whether I liked it. It might make more sense to people who know the movie (I can't honestly remember whether I've ever seen it or not).

I found the story a bit overly full of quips. It's clearly meant to be part of Dean's characterisation, that he's joking around a lot for both his sake and Sam's, but to me it seemed like there wasn't really anything else to the story.

There's a whole bit early on where Dean and Sam pretend to be Feds and talk to State police at a random crime scene, and I was expecting the story to come back to the police and their case, but it never did. It seems that the beginning part was only there to provide an opportunity for jokes, confusion at Boston accents, and for Dean and Sam to eat doughnuts.

THEN they get into the whole favour for a mob boss business that was the reason they were called to Boston in the first place, and go about digging up bodies for a while until they find the right guy (that the boss thinks is going to come back for revenge). And then that's it.
