This book is so stupid. I think it needed a whole lot more of Del Toro and a lot less of Chuck Hogan, but even then I'm not sure it would have saved it. I didn't care about any of the characters (and there were so so many), the 1st half was a slog of pointless dictionary entries that had nothing to do with the plot, and overall it's just bad.
