I don't know who was first, but recently both Crais and T.
Jefferson Parker have utilized the technique as well. I'm not
a big fan of the device either, if you're going to violate
the first person point of view as a way of
"expanding" your storytelling, why not try telling the story
in the third person? It's actually refreshing seeing a
character from a different perspective this way. Michael
Connelly has played around with it. I think that's more
interesting, personally.
