Title: Well-crafted, but not much else.
Review: I can understand why some people might find this book to be a nice change of pace to the dross that James Patterson and Patricia Cornwell are releasing, but I'm with those who found it rather underwhelming.For one thing, there is just far too much description. At one point - towards the end - we get a four-page explanation as to why the Fens is going to flood. I found this a little more than was necessary. Also, the severe lack of dialogue made the characters very hard to identify with. How can I get to know these people if they barely even speak? Dryden's cab driver "Humph" was so dull I wondered why he was even included in the plot.In the end, everything tied up very well. If Kelly can combine his obvious gift for plotting with better character development and a less show-offy writing style, he could find himself up there with Jonathan Kellerman and Michael Connelly.
