I will forever thank you for introducing me to Donald Westlake's Parker crime novels.

A nice intro chapter. I am always happy to hear more of how to succeed in Evil. I was suspecting something would happen to Chad, given how absolutely unforgivable his taste in suits was. I did not think he would get trampled, though. I can't say I feel sorry for him. You have to be pretty stupid to stand in front of a charging bull.

Edwin's reaction was priceless. He is so cold he's hot.

In the Bull's defense, he was making money by committing this crime. He was posting his exploits on social media, which would earn him money if he's monetized.

I feel a bit bad for the Bull. He isn't a bad guy, he just has bad judgement and bad brakes.

By the way, if your voice got any more soothing, I'd fall asleep. That's a good thing. Never change.

Good stuff. Any chance of another Merchant Adventurer book?
