Perry is more hardboiled, chainsmokes through the whole story and never goes to trial. Other than that, I noticed no evolution.Evan Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07620731784654779358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4705940625481143611.post-58003697704507617662010-12-07T09:25:42.164-08:002010-12-07T09:25:42.164-08:00I've always wondered about the cheesecake pain...I've always wondered about the cheesecake paintings on the covers of the novels while the series was always extremely chaste. I've never read Gardner.
