I'm in Connecticut on business, which interfered with my plan to go to my local bookstores yesterday. I've mapped the nearest Barnes & Noble, and will be heading there a later today.

I glanced at the Amazon reviews, which I know you wisely avoid. (Though right now it's 9 5-star, one 4-star.) My favorite comment so far is "One of my favorite bits is the location descriptions at the beginning of each chapter, which reminded me of the Middleman chyrons." I call that high praise. :)

I saw some of them yesterday, because I was checking to make sure nothing went wrong with the on-sale date. I am well pleased. :)

Particularly the one about Verity's apartment made me think of Middleman.

And, no, it's no bad thing, imho.

The minute I saw it was like 'Middleman reference! SCORE!' and then chortled heartily every time it came up again.

That was me! Heh. I awaited each new one eagerly.

I didn't notice them for about 4 or 5 chapters, then I had to go back and catch up.

Ah, yes, particularly the complete repetition of the title of the "Club for discerning Gentlemen"
