I have read one other book in this "Davenport" series, and had the same complaint: there are a large number of characters, and the author is pretty weak in his character development. It takes a lot of chapters to feel comfortable with the main players. He seems to assume that the reader is familiar with the previous books in the series, and so does not concentrate on giving the repeating characters as much depth as he should. Some authors, such as Michael Connelly (Harry Bosch series) and Lee Child (Jack Reacher series) do a much better job in making each of their series' books stand alone.
