I agree with Toddson, the Helen Pendergast "trilogy" made me want to beat my head against a wall. Same with the preceding Diogenes "trilogy". (Trilogy in quotes, 'cause each storyline got THREE ENTIRE BOOKS, but I'm not sure they were billed as a trilogy.)
I'm pretty sure I got through the Diogenes Trilogy before I wandered off last time. I don't think I started Helen's. Maybe I better just get out while the gettin's good.

Sad about Elmore Leonard, but he had a pretty good run. RIP.
