Review title: mostly agree with the 4s or so; just one additional ?
Product review: Almost all first-person private eye novels are written in the past tense, which always creates a little bit of a problem--why is the PI thinking back over the entire case in such a chronological, narrative manner? Usually, however, we just suspend our disbelief and enjoy. Yet Grafton, at least in this book, has Millhone more or less address--and certainly demonstrate an awareness of--her audience. #$(*#)@@(#)? She may not realize it, but such a move endangers the entire private eye genre (one of my personal favorites, don't get me wrong) forever. N had better be for Normal.
