Tedious and bland. I loved the Duffys, which were sly, dark and funny. Am v glad this made enough money for McKinty to get back writing again as he is fab, but this is hard boiled Americanised pants. (I'll be fair, had I not read the Duffys I'd probably give this a 3.5 but I wanted more of his humour and sharp writing and this was not it).
