Feels strangely incomplete - the emotional arc may have been completed, but the story arc wasn't. The structure is that of hard-boiled detective stories, yet the "cases" don't get resolved to satisfaction within the book.
Witty and sly, the language fits the setting and genre snugly - no word goes to waste.
Jack Fleming remains charming. (
