I've only read "the last good kiss," and I don't know how
representative that is, but I found this to be an
exceptionally well-plotted book. I've heard similar
criticisms of the plotting and I actually think it's a
tribute to Crumley's skill. The book feels "meandering" and
somewhat random, which is completely appropriate IMO to the
narrator's mentality and lifestyle, so that it's only on
looking back that the underlying structure is apparent.
