panLook at those endorsements! Award winning writer of The Wire, Gold standard character driven crime writing, Gripping. Stephen King himself calls him “perhaps the greatest living crime writer”. Surely not! I saw no sign of any of this. Except that I fully believe that the author is used to writing for TV. It‘s like someone took a B-movie script and added internal monologue. Every scene we are told what everybody‘s wearing and other visuals.

Leniverse I didn‘t find this book “gripping” at all, and the characters were completely forgettable. And the main character was just annoying. Only reason I didn‘t bail was that I really needed a book set in Washington D.C for a reading challenge. 6y
