Mehso-so

Way to be, first reading of author via novella of the character's retirement and a recent brief return to an old signature character. The dialogue/banter was almost like a play; most of the slim book consisted of it. There was some gumshoe private investigator stuff, with a shift in narration tone. Learning about the equivalent of AA for 'working women' and some of the dialogue, observations were the best parts. Still too masculine, outdated tone.
