Title: Trudged through this one
Product review: I can only hope James Tucker is a better doctor than writer. One reviewer said that the characters were disjointed. I agree 100%. Tucker spends SO much time trying to develop characters that he ends up creating a confusing atmosphere. Over halfway through the book I looked at the back cover again, and was SURPRISED to find out that Jack Merlin is considered the leading character. Could have fooled me. I thought of him as a side story, allowing the Assistant DA access into the medical world.One Pittsburgher said that the book hits on the hot spots, and local quirks of PGH. I'm not so sure. I recently moved to PGH and feel like I know no more about the city than I did before I read the book. It's not like the John Sanford "Prey" series that make you feel like you're actually walking THROUGH Minneapolis.In summary, do yourself a favor: don't bother with this book. There are so many other stories that flow and put you at the scene.
