That was very entertaining. The plot's simple, but it's perfectly tight and doesn't actually lack anything (why add unnecessary sub-plots just for the sake of it, right?), and it succeeds in leaving you wanting more. It absolutely reads like a series or an episode of a tv series, tbh. I loved all the characters and found all the detectivesque references (Marlowe, Spade, Allan, Chandler, Grafton, Hemmett, that I caught, there are surely more) very amusing. After a bit (an euphemism) of a reading slump, to read this has been wonderful.
