Review: Not bad, but lacks depth and emotion

This was my second Johnny Ravine mystery, and I like Hot Rock Dreaming a bit better.  This one was a bit slow and shallow.  If Johnny is so desperate to find his father, then show it.  Build it up throughout the story, and then drop the bombshell (I don't want to spoil it if you haven't read it.)  There were so many significant themes and interactions that could have been so engaging, but they were briefly mentioned then dropped.  And they ending left so much hanging it kind of fizzled.
