The intro is wonderful -- you really get right into Jace's head, and his voice is perfect. Best of all, Jacinto and Napoleon are back! Yay! The thought of a homicide cop named Jacinto really tickles me, especially with the hard cop tack he takes in the beginning. I'm with him on this one -- Walter IS an old guy name.
"My friends call me Jace.
Everyone else just calls me ‘Detective’."
It really says a lot about his life and how he thinks about himself.
I really love that people are always asking Jadeite "Why?" It's an occupational hazard here, but I can see him having to take that same role in the SilMil as well.
It's an intriguing twist to have Beryl already a victim from the start. Of course I can't wait to see where the story's going.
"He flicked his cigarette out of the window with as much force as possible, the lighted end flying away from the car like a firefly caught up in the wind" Absolutely wonderful!! I can see the actions in this scene so clearly, like when Leo lighting his cigarette. I also like seeing Jace from other people's eyes, like Leo thinking he's the charming one and ribbing him about the older women.
And of course you won't tell me, but I'm on tenterhooks to find out who "the dame is." Is it Rei? Mina?? Usagi?? Someone else entirely??
