Even Mercer himself, we have no sense of who he is, and he's driven by his love for the missing Juliet, but why? Who's she? What was their relationship? The story is a fun roll through the noir conventions, but you're right -- obstacles are set up and overcome, plot points and the expected elements are presented at the expected times. Still ... I enjoyed it, because there are good bits of writing. I want to read "12 Reasons," because I love the art and suspect Rich will do much better when he's not trying to bend himself to the noir requirements.
