This is bizarre. Over the top doesn’t begin to cover it. A self-deluding, fantasist wannabe actor as the sensitivity coach / assistant to a brain damaged but still brilliant, rich, handsome, ex-homicide detective turned insurance investigator, romping through puzzles solved by an analysis of the built environment.
Wow!
Add in a stream of insider jokes about crime writers and you have a joyously riotous ride.

This book moves so fast I can feel the wind in my hair. It’s a sugar rush of a book.
The characters are cartoonish but fun.
I love Bixby’s passionate disdain for poor design, his breathtaking arrogance and the way he takes apart unpleasant people.
His assisant seems stranger than him; a man so wrapped in fantasy that he’s impervious to reality.
