This psychological novel overcomes the self-afflicted handicap of a really unsympathetic main character, mainly thanks to a really quite wonderful auxiliary character - a lesbian bodybuilder doctor named Jackson. Lots of delving into the psyches of various troubled individuals, which got a tad old, but I did read through to the end.

I seriously recommend this book to anyone who reads. Even If you don't like the genre, I defy you to make it two pages without laughing! Cook used Chandler as an idea to write about a smartass detective in a fantasy realm with the typical twists and turns of a Cook novel. The plethora of stories going on within the main story keeps the mind always moving. The characters are original, (even Garrett, the Chandler copy), fun and admirable. the comedy makes it great for anyone! stars out of five!
