I have read 4 Charlie Huston books, 3 Joe Pitt and 1 Hank. I never noticed the lack of quotation marks. I had to go and check the ones I have and the look inside the book at amazon just to see.

Even being aware of them now, I doubt it will bother me when I read another. (I much prefer Joe PITT)

I have a hard time seeing Charlie Huston as pretentious, but I have never met him so who knows.
