Title: Interesting plot; tiresome characters
Review: I listened to this book on tape (unabridged). The story was interesting though it took FOREVER to unfold and I had to fight the desire to fast-forward.The characters, however, were incredibly tiresome, especially (unfortunately) the "hero," Lassiter, who shows a remarkable lack of intuition, intelligence, and conversational savvy for somebody who owns his own detective agency.Not only does Lassiter's stupidity get a number of people killed it almost ends his life -- it's unfortunate that the reader is deprived of that happy ending, though.
Is the review positive or negative?
