It's interesting to note that there is a distinct lack of foreshadowing in Crumley's, The Last Good Kiss. Where many novels of this genre might include references to impending trouble and/or hints of truths to be later revealed, Crumley generally avoids them. This lends a sense of immediacy to the experience of reading the bookâthere is an overall feeling of being drawn into a deepening and unavoidable spiral into shadowy, disturbing human truths. In other words, the reader has no warning of what's coming, making the shock of what arrives that much more intense.
