Review: Pretty good but bit of a shaggy dog tale

Liked the characters - paints them well and clearly in just a few sentences.  Plot was OK - kept me going - but had a bit of the shaggy dog tale about it.  Don't want to spoil the plot so I'll leave it there, but you may find yourself let down by the ending.  Felt like the author ran out of words or reached a limit on his word-processing program.  As well, the mobsters have a cardboard feel to them - nothing much unique about any of them right down to their nicknames.  And perhaps that was the point - the banality of evil?
