Robert B. Parker's Buzz Kill

The book is billed as 'Robert B. Parker's Buzz Kill,' so I'm curious how the author balanced Parker's signature voice with their own. Did they aim to emulate his tone or put a new spin on it?

Some parts felt slow while others picked up quickly. I wonder if this was intentional to build suspense or just the flow of the story.

The atmosphere really felt authentic and atmospheric — I’m curious whether the author drew from real places or created a fictional setting to serve the story.
