Pretty good. I liked Menlo probably a little more than Stubbs and the story unfolded in a satisfying way. It was interesting to see Parker seemingly caring for someone, in this case Handy. I’m not sure if I interpreted that wrong or not, but he seemed to care for his wellbeing. I wonder if he is going to show up in any other books. Best part was when Menlo saw Parker in the hotel room. Good stuff.
