I did like several sections of this novel, especially the parts with Pat (Boy, do I love that gal!). I also liked the villain, and his death gimmick was inventive. Unfortunately, like Will Murray’s novels, it feels like it is padded (I thought the whole section in Hong Kong could have been omitted) and slows and dulls the pace and excitement of the story, not like the crisp clean prose of Dent.
