Funny!  This was my second "date" with Otis--the first being the book of short stories that opens this series.  I wondered how things would progress in a longer adventure.  Not to worry!  A dead drummer, a missing $5 million, and the Welsh mafia all combine, giving Otis plenty to worry about.  Is it insulting to say that Andrew Peters is channeling Damon Runyan?  I hope not.  This is a cheerful way to spend an afternoon.  I love the voice, the town, and Otis's streak of good sense (read "cowardice").  Oh, and the product placement ideas--perfectly in character.  Otis, don't panic--but I think I'm taking you home to meet Mom.
