Query: A little slow.......

I picked up this book for a cross country flight expecting another masterpiece, alas I did not find that. I thought that the story itself had some potential, but I thought it was very slow to develop. Ray is a great character who has some moral issues to deal with when it comes to the Judge's money, and the issues surrounding his brother Forest. I just thought that the plot poked along slower than his other offerings.
