Negative Positive
Title: Okay but. . .
Review: This book has a decent premise, and I love the detective character, but it needs some work.First of all, I agree with one previous reviewer -- the "secret" of the book is revealed literally half-way through the read (way too soon). This makes every move by the detective and other characters look so stupid it's not even funny. You really want to like the detective, but after reading him do some really dense things, you lose interest.I also have a fundamental problem with the book and it's secret. I think the author really needed to get himself a better editor, because there are many inconsistencies that need to be resolved.Speaking of editing, the book is chock full of poor grammar and missed/mis-used punctuation.I'd wait for the next book or if you want to read a thriller, get Mark of the Assassin by Silva or something like that.
