Review: Average At Best

I had to stop one third of the way through. The dialogue was contrived and the story predictable. The book was poorly edited, and I got tired of the author alternatively referring to the protagonist as "Leopold," "the consultant," and "Blake." Mary was nothing but a rude and stupid foil to make Blake appear smart. For some reason Blake has a bodyguard who he is continually slipping away from, and getting hurt as a result. The story lost all credibility when Mary, a New York City detective, conducts a press conference in London. It would never happen.
