Title: how disappointing!
Review: I really wanted to like this book, but I was very disappointed. While the main character seemed likable enough, the book was far too Spenserish - big, tough wise-cracking yet sensitive PI, colorful sidekick, intellectual girl-friend. The plot was (literally) unbelievable, with a messy ending that made no sense. The book could have benefited from a better editor, who could have pointed out the obvious police procedural errors and who could have pointed out to the author that he really, really, really, needed to come up with a better ending.
