Yes, you’d need a stiff drink after a story stuffed with stiffs. Riveting tale until the Deus Ex Machina denouement. To be honest, we could do with a visit from the goddess Athena round here. Abs of steel you say?

Motown works. “It is in his eyes? Oh no, that’s not the way. He’s guilty, guilty, guilty…hey, hey, hey.”

The musical version of “Little Shop of Horrors” has a Greek Chorus wandering through. Though it’s sort of a Motown Girl Group Greek Chorus.

I’d like to see the Greek Chorus make a comeback. “She’s guilty, he’s lying, he’s Al Capone.”

Athena? Now your talking. Think how satisfying these endings could be. One god or goddess could strike the protagonist (or shoever was convenient) dead, and another one could retaliate by making the dead one immortal as a constellation in the night sky.

Alternatively, the god or goddess could turn the protag into a locust. Think of the follow-up possibilities. Nobody’s done that yet, have they–a PI who happens to be a locust?

Those Greeks were onto something with that whole deus ex thing.
