I had a hard time getting into this novel. It received praise on its back cover from Robert Crais, Minette Walters, Michael Connelly and Ian Rankin so I kept on slogging until it grabbed me at about one-fourth. The first quarter was very much a police procedural. A good one, mind you. But, the hook was weak and the pace was sloooow. In the end, I persisted and found it enjoyable.
But then, it may all be my fault. It hasn't done anything this week but rain. Everyday, two to four inches. One day we got six to eight and a bit down the road got an amazing twenty inches in the same twenty-four hour period. A little rain is okay. But this week has been ridiculous. It probably made me a grumpy reader. :(
