"It was bizarre beyond expression, being suddenly forced to bow low for the man who had broken into my home."

This novel is, so far, my ideal comfort reading: a detective novel with sarcastic social critique. In some respects, it reminds me of Oscar Wilde, though the comparison only makes me appreciate anew the clarity and wit of Wilde's criticism without the benefit of 100+ years of hindsight.
