The Jewel in the Skull Part Two

Natasha is back with me as we continue our deep dive into the first Hawkmoon novel, The Jewel in the Skull.
 

MARVEL at Tash's brutal takedown of mothers-in-law...
 

SIGH at the rambling non-sequiturs...
 

GASP at Tash's salty sailor talk...
 

WONDER at the gradual breakdown of recording discipline...
 

WEEP at the continual intrusion of traffic, crisp packets and leather furniture...
