I may not be doing this one justice, as I read it all in one gulp and rather fast; but it didn't impress me. It's hard to interest me in a "hardboiled detective" male character who complains about women; it worked for Nero Wolfe, but set in a modern world, it's just an annoying and outdated attitude. And while I see a lot of potential in the setup, something about the execution falls flat to my ear. I'll try reading on in the series in hopes that the writing improves enough to justify all the hype and fuss.
