I really enjoyed this. I haven't read any if the other reviews but there are probably mentions of misogyny and female and foreign stereotypes. They'd wouldn't be terribly inaccurate but to hell with that, this is all carried out with such humor, neo-noir-ish élan, I can forgive it anything. Great characters, fast-pace plot, great grasp of the locations make this a really enjoyable read.Though not as accomplished and probably lacking some of its depth, I was reminded of Denis Lehane's series with the male/female PI team.If the nefarious plan was to make the first installment of the franchise free so readers would find it impossible to refuse to pay for subsequent volumes, then I've fallen for it. I'm off to buy the second one!
