Disappointing

If you plan on buying this book because you're a fan of Finch's Lenox's series, think again. Unlike those, this one is a a tedious book, with an extremely self-centered, spoiled and boring main character. Had to simply flip through it and toss it away. It's hard to believe it's written by the same author. No doubt he should stick to writing detective stories from another era.
