I don't often read detective stories...like maybe not in 10 years? And I generally skip short stories as well, Matt. But you have me curious. So maybe I'll give this a go. :)Bookworm Brandeenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3080059027932862967.post-25157386850255453762015-03-19T10:45:38.830-05:002015-03-19T10:45:38.830-05:00It really did feel like regular book with you foll...It really did feel like regular book with you following him over the course of a year or so. Having the chance to see him interact with different clients and that really helped kill the short story vibe.

And while I normally dislike short stories this one felt more like one novel with a series of events.
