Painted Ladies

typical late-Parker. Rambling plot, chapters with dialogue that he's written dozens of times before and only serve to add to the page count, at least one glaring error that should get an editor sacked (if anyone bothered to edit him anymore), a couple of nice new characters, lots of old friends, and a fun time. Better conclusion than most of his lately.

Recommended to fans, suggest newcomers go back and read the early stuff.
