Extremely silly (not that I wasn't warned in the Introduction). Breezily written but the dialogue is so inane and it's hard to believe any real people talk would like that. There are so many incredible coincidences (mainly of disparate characters actually knowing each other and showing up in other character's apartments) that it was another strike against this book. Emily, the Decorator is one of the more annoying fictional heroines I've come across, and why Henry puts up with her (and why most of the other male characters pine after her) is a deeper mystery than the one outlined in the story. It was never explained why the damn gun was in the bust in the first place, either. Happily short, but not short enough.
