It has been a long time since I read Poodle Springs and
Perchance to Dream, but at the time I thought Parker did a
creditable job. However, like John Lau, I have no clear
memory of what happens in these novels. They seem to have
left no mark. I think I still have Poodle Springs... I should
probably take another look.
