Related by Katz's "assistant", these stories are crisp, witty, and charming. Almost a throw-back, although in the current day. Makes me think of gents in Topcoats and Tails, ladies in Evening Gowns, for some reason.Katz is very stylish, very smart, with a few expensive habits (haute cuisine, fine wines, lovely female companions). Those habits are the only reason he takes these interesting cases. Otherwise, he would hang out in his very posh townhouse, entertaining friends.His "assistant" Archie is worth the price of admission. Never have read anything/anyone like Archie in a detective mystery. He only exists in cyberspace, but is nonetheless real. And effective. Great pair; Katz and Archie. Great series. Already bought the next book...
