* ByNoIMeanYes: MK's husband is an aging ex-rocker who hosts an evening radio show where he fields sycophantic calls from adoring fans. At one point on his show he says that he doesn't blame his wife and daughter for making him stop playing music...only to say more or less exactly that a sentence or two later.

* CharacterDevelopment: Joe has developed into a ''slightly'' less loathsome figure in this novel, to the extent that he does not actually kill anyone personally in the entire book (he does ''cause'' the death of some people, but not directly or intentionally). He's still a stalker and a liar with plenty of old blood on his hands, but he's trying very hard to not be quite ''as'' bad.
Added DiffLines:
* LighterAndSofter: The book still features plenty of sex and violence, but Joe's CharacterDevelopment as described above does make the novel a bit less pointed than the first two entries in the series.
