Meh. The story was decent, but was really lacking in suspense. All of the characters outside of Falk were all portrayed as being small-minded which made it very difficult to get invested in the story and root for the characters.

I enjoyed the flashbacks scattered throughout the story that gave more information about the mystery from his past sprinkled in with trying to figure out information about his best friend's death. Could have been better executed, but wasn't bad.
