Title: Awful, but with some nice descriptions
Product review: The more I read this book, the more I couldn't believe I had actually paid for it (true, I was getting on a plane in San Francisco so I could forgive myself). The plot plods along in incredibly predictable fashion. I couldn't have cared less what the mystery was about because it just wasn't original or interesting. The author's attempt to craft a female character is laughable and the constant aikido references are grating. I usually don't like to criticize but this book is so poorly written that I feel I have to submit this review. All that being said, the book does at times capture the unique qualities that make San Francisco such a beautiful city. Although he can't come up with an interesting plot, the author is capable of the occasional effective descriptive phrase. Take a pass on this one. You'd be better off picking up just about any other mystery.
