The story is picking up very fast and already 2 people are DEAD :)
The narration is good and the humor or can I say the ironic comments are so good.. the wittiness OMG...
I cant wait to see what happens next :)
For some reason, I keep hearing the voice of those old Dick Tracy type PI's from the 40s, dealing with the mobsters and stuff in New York and Chicago. Except I don't think I've come across the word "dame" yet. I guess it makes sense, this was published in 1939. I'm loving the pace and tone though, very catchy!
