Review: Great story; hard-to-stomach protagonist

I don't know what the deal is lately - I'm very claustrophobic and yet I've either been watching movies about caves or reading books about them.  Hmmm..."Cave" is a well-written book by Cooper.  It takes place in Wales and I enjoyed learning more about the country and some new "English" words.  I also enjoyed the caving (potholing) in the story - nicely described but not too graphic.The protagonist of the story, Marty, is a big-time JERK with women and does not even realize it.  He made me want to throw my kindle against the wall at times (is that good writing or do I have "issues").  The story is about relationships - with friends, spouses, significant others, people who depend on you and who you depend on - but it is also a mystery.  The mystery portion is done well.  I figured out part of the whodunit ahead of time but not all of it.Well done and worth reading.
