Maybe it's just me... I like some books where the hero isn't all that great of a person, doesn't always do the right thing, doesn't do the things for the right reasons... but inside you know they are good at heart and doing the best they can. Steven R. Donaldson's "Man Who" mystery series being a prime example.This book, none of the folks you SHOULD care about are likable in any way. Z isn't someone you can like. The story drags on and on and on. I just wanted it to end. Z has his two old buddies from high school who help him out but none of them seem to like or respect each other and there's no real connection other than they knew each other back when they were high school football jocks. Who cares? They don't really get involved in the story other than as sources of information and I don't really care about them or why they are the way they are or why he still has them as "friends."In Dexter, yes, the lead character is a psychopathic serial killer but he's a good guy and you like him. In this book, the guy is just a psychopath who is obsessed with a woman who is not appealing either. I won't be reading any others in the series!
