There is only one thing you need to know about this story.Larry Shames wrote it.So you should read it.QEDAnything from Larry is a gift to readers. And this one fits the season--it's a Valentine to all the millions of fans of the Key West Series.  Bert.  With a Chihuahua.  Back to The Compound.No crime here, no thrills, no laughs.  Just a very gentle story, without any maudling, that touches some deep chords in a subtle way and ends up with some questions/insinuations about the human estate that go beyond real estate.Don't let the cover throw you, this is a little petit four  slice of the Good Old Stuff, and even nudges the timeline of Bert and Joey and Sandra a tiny tick forward.  And does so in a setting and episode that is just oddball enough to be very... Key West.It's 99 freakin' cents.  No brains required, just a finger click.  You should do it, money is fleeting but reading pleasure sticks to your ribs.
