This was my 3rd of 4th venture into 'Bolitarism'. It was what I needed after reading 'The Fountainhead' and 'Atonement' and I went on a tear of 3 Myron Bolitar books. This was the first and, unless I'm mistaken, is the first of the series.
Whilst being introduced to all regular characters and getting a bit of back story we meet the first big client, Christian Steele. He finds himself in an investigation searching for the reason for his ex-fiance's disappearance. Myron, as per usual, investigates, gets too deep, ignores peoples' attempts at intimidation, nearly gets killed, solves the crime and drops dozens of one-liners regardless of the urgency inherent in the situation. This was fluffy but still gave me a good old fashioned 'whodoneit' to ease out of the serious dramas.
I get the impression that each Bolitar I read will have some different culprit and some more and more complicated plots.
Worth reading.
