Query: dies a slow death

What a disappointment! Starts off at an interesting pace, but quickly bogs down in the search for the almighty dollar. Laziness takes over and the writing begins to really stink. Repeats words, boring images, and the plot gets much too involved. I am, for one, not going to repeat the mistake of trying a "Bosch" novel again.
