Query: Not Worth a Dime

A friend turned me on to Michael Connelly's Harry Bosch detective novels. They are gritty, taut, descriptive, and darn good reads. When Harry does something "stupid" it's because he needs to do it, and he has the street smarts to survive and get the job done, though often at a cost.Henry Pierce, the subject of this book, is just an idiot. He does stupid things, and you really can't figure out why. He's a research chemist, and a pretty clever one at that, but Connelly can't really dish up the reasons for his stupid behavior. I have to admit here that I tossed the book at the end of chapter 31 (There are 40 of the dreadful things). By that time I was praying that someone in the novel would take pity on me and just grease Mr. Pierce, but with 90 more pages to go, you know that just wasn't going to happen.The USA Today blurb on the cover should read: "Unremarkable....Forgettable."
