In honesty, all I remember is a general sense of mirth the book left me with followed almost immediately by a bender and several weird encounters in and around Goldie Mill.

    Adams is one of those writers who took a really great concept and turned into a series, McCall Smith with the No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency is another. i can't blame them for taking the money, but you wonder if they could have been great literary novelists if they ever got untracked. I know I read the Guide and The Restuarant, and one other of the books, but to be honest, they began to blend so much I am not sure of the title.
