The story in this novel managed to capture my attention fairly well (even if I did figure out a good portion of the plot early on), but the writing was rather painful. The author left nothing to the imagination or inference, but spelled every single plot point, emotion, and thought out. I found myself rolling my eyes fairly often... but still curious as to what would happen next. ( )

an ok first book ... not for me... too much like dragnet... going from a to b to c... maybe a fairer comparison would be to the TV show "Law and Order" I will read a second book and try to give him another chance. ( )
