Title: The Big Let Down
Review: Lindsay's books usually mean tight plots with plenty of inside details about how the FBI works, crackling action scenes, and believable dialogue laced with humor. This book has it all except for the tight plotting, and without the tight plot the other ingredients don't hold together very well. The humor is good, the insider details interesting, and the dialogue excellent. Unfortunately the meandering plot is so loose the book kind of falls apart. Think of this book as a cake with every ingredient except the flour. Lots of sugar, baking soda, and eggs but the key ingredient is missing.
