Review: Good mystery - didn't guess the ending.

All in all this was a good mystery and I enjoyed reading it. I really, really didn't see the ending and I like that! Too many times when I read a mystery, I guess who the bad guy is half way through the book. So, why only four stars? First of all, as another reviewer stated, the witty dialogue got tiring - especially when EVERYONE spoke basically in the same voice. Secondly, I realize this is a first novel but the author needs to know, you pick one name and stick to it! His police contact was Rinaldi. Then all of a sudden someone referred to Pep. Who? Huh? Well, that was Rinaldi's first name! Pick one name and stick to it. The third reason for only four stars is the book was draggy in the middle. Too much detail, too much reiteration. Other than those picky points. I liked the book and would read another Sam North novel.
