\"\"<\/a>Nick and Perry have moved to L.A. where Nick works as a PI and Perry is going to art school.<\/p>\n

It’s while Nick is out on a case and Perry is sketching when Perry meets Horace Daly, who is seemingly being haunted–except that Perry interrupts three actual men attacking Horace.<\/p>\n

One thing I particularly like is that although Nick still keenly feels the difference in their ages (and physical stature) he recognizes that is HIS problem, and works to deal with it.<\/p>\n

That was one thing he had decided early on. He was not going to undermine Perry\u2019s confidence or self-resilience with his own fears. Perry was not his child, he was his partner. Physically frail or not, he was a grown man.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And despite their differences, they really do work well together.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019d think people who were going to the trouble of stalking someone would be more obsessed with the details.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re making a lot of assumptions.\u201d Despite the seriousness of the situation, Nick was a little amused. \u201cYou can\u2019t judge based on the type of stalker you would be.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There was another thing I quite enjoyed, which is how Nick and Perry separately see the police detective Marin.<\/p>\n

Detective Marin, was a stocky, pugnacious-looking blonde in sensible shoes and a suit from Sears, which Nick knew because he owned the same suit.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Detective Marin, had a nice smile and, unless Perry was losing his eye, was hiding a baby bump beneath that men\u2019s suit jacket.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That’s a lovely parallel there, seeing how Nick and Perry see the same character.<\/p>\n

Like the previous book, it’s an interesting mystery, and I very much love the interactions between the characters.<\/p>\n
