Very meh.  Hard to follow the blurry character motivations and didn't really seem like an "homage" to crime novels as much as a poor shadow of a crime novel.  Had a Memento vibe without any of the interesting plot.  Listened to the audiobook twice and still couldn't follow the action.  Apparently it was originally publishes chapter-by-chapter across issues of Playboy magazine, so maybe that explains why it's so disjointed.  Would have DNF'd it if it weren't for book club.
