[Michael Bailey]

temperate...we'd want to emphasize how good OBA

anyway, de gustibus non est disputandum

plus, maybe it is supposed to be a detective story
(though I find that to be a Procrustean template for it)
-- after all, we have Lew's sojourn as a detective of the soul
later in the oeuvre ---
