Title: A traditional beginning to an ever-maturing P.I. series...
Product review: Robert Crais dresses up his first entry in the Elvis Cole series with all of the traditional P.I. trimmings: 1)The lost, lonely, yet attractive, perpetual victim; 2)The strong-willed, brash, yet attractive, best friend of perpetual victim; 3)The solid-as-a-rock, faithful sidekick; 4)The sometimes volatile relationship with local law enforcement. It's the humor and upbeat attitude that separates this novel from the cookie-cutter PI novels. Crais takes the traditional down-trodden detective and infuses him with a contagious optimism. I enjoyed every moment. As for his "relations" with the two female leads, I say this: It's a detective novel. He's supposed to get all the chicks.
