Robert B. Parker's Someone to Watch Over Me

Reading this continuation, I wonder what choices Atkins made to stay true to Parker's voice while adding his own touch. Did anyone else notice any key differences in tone or personality?

The gritty urban backdrop really sets the tone — I’m curious whether the author drew from personal experiences or historical research to craft this world.

The story seemed to take a breather before ramping up again — I’m wondering if that was a deliberate choice to deepen character development.
