Robert B. Parker's Grudge Match

Lupica captures the classic noir vibe, but I wonder what inspired the creative choices to keep the tone authentic while updating the story.

The characters' moral dilemmas felt very raw, making me question whether revenge can ever be justified in the eyes of the law or conscience.

The personal details added depth but also slowed the pacing at times. I’m curious if that was planned to contrast with the plot's suspense.
