That was fun! Not just a trivial story, mind you, there
was actually a plot and action, but there were bits in it
that made me laugh, too. And I haven't seen OWW and I managed fine.
The style was definitely one that drew you in, intriguing you
with pictures of the action, and not explaining too much.
The plot might have been a little better, but I don't care - it was
still fun.

Sequel to Dose of Confusion, Murder on the Side. Good. Not so
much play on the identical-twinness of Mack and Jim, more emphasis on,
well, the case. Nice how both our boys figured it out (well, Blair
figured it out first, but Jim wasn't far off, after being pointed the
way). Tenseness, as we wondered if Blair was going to have another
stint in hospital (the dreams were a good contributing factor to this).
I read this on a long flight, and had to choose to put it down, because
I knew I had to try to get some sleep. Otherwise I would probably
have read the whole thing in one sitting. Basically a case story, with
lots of things going on to occupy the many characters running around.
Addendum: this story was nominated in the 2000 Cascade Times
Awards in the Crossover category.
