Denouement was a little too dismissive and tied up too quickly, without much explanation. 1/2 a star boosted for the 3 main women characters. I did enjoy the dynamics between Teddy and two of the women, both Dale Gai and the U.S. agent Millie Martendale. Though I'm disappointed we really don't find much more about Dale Gai in the end than where we started from. Set up for partnership in the future, hopefully that becomes a published reality. I went in for in the mood for finance crime conspiracy thriller and the setting of Macau was appealing. First by this author.
