So, so good. Filled with memories, and such sadness. We pick up right after the end of book 1, and Lew is off to find the daughter of his good friend, the now deceased Laverne.
The story isn’t linear, and Lew takes us through instances in his life, from his youth onwards. There are so many missed emotional connections, but also these tiny, warm moments between Lew and others.
And the relationship between Lew and Alouette...heartbreaking. Actually, I found much of this excellent story to be so.

Thoroughly enjoying Sallis' take on the noir detective genre. The mood and theme of the books is about reflecting on life, not solving the case which is different than I expected but thoroughly enjoyable. Looking forward to the rest of the books in the series.
