This book started out okay. I liked the main character, the professional assassin, and I was interested in his mystery. Then I met the rest of the characters... I'm not sure if I've ever encountered a more obnoxious and yet frequently boring collection. Somehow, they made what was undoubtedly supposed to be a gritty mystery merely puerile. The biggest reason I had to give up was the private detective from New York. There are ugly Americans, and then there's this guy. He took crude to such a level that I can only wonder how Rankin wrote him with a straight face. Whether he was meant to be commentary or color, I don't know, but I just can't bear to sit through any more of his POVs.
