I thought this started out good and would be a good mystery/thriller but alas! no way

1. pet peeve---way way too long--525 pages? why?
2. I did like the main character Alex Brandon BUT not many of the other characters
3. storyline gets way off track due to Burke putting a 'background' to each and every character that takes up pages and pages to wade through which is boring and another pet peeve
4. story moves too slow, but again because of all the unnecessary descriptions of every character
5. Burke has to put in 'dreams' by some of the characters of their childhood or some such nonsense

So overall I skipped about 100 pages and didn't miss a thing, read a little and then skipped more pages and still didn't miss a thing---I don't recommend this book at all unless you just want to wade through lots of unnecessary pages.
