In some ways I liked this book better than its predecessor, Tropic of Night. The development of the continuing character, and his many family-friends-work relationships continued nicely. The plot here required less suspension of disbelief, but the ending wasn't as satisfying as in the first book. The story just sorta stopped -- some loose ends were tied up quickly, but it still felt unfinished. I'm eager to read the third book, now winging its way to my mailbox.
