I really could not get into this, it was a slog from beginning to end. It's not badly written or anything, and there were a few bits that approached likeable, but, well, meh. 

I read the first in the series a few weeks back. I enjoyed it, particularly the setting - large parts of the book were in underground tunnels, which was creepy and unusual - but there was no such interest here. Just drug warfare, which (with the best will in the world) does not compel me. Neither, it must be said, does the protagonist. Clearly he appeals to a lot of people. My stepdad's one of them, he loves these books! But I have to admit I find him - Bosch, not stepdad - just a little dull, and when the story doesn't engage me either it's not a great read for me on any level. Still, as I said, I liked the first book in the series, so maybe the next one will be better.
