Query: Great idea...lousy plot

Ugh..Patterson creates many characters throughout the book you would expect him to somehow tie back later. This does not happen. The book is plagued with non-essential dead ends and over development of characters. Patterson has a great mix of condiments for a good book, he just does not have any recipe for them. During the first half of the book I was expecting twists and turns that would take me reeling, but what I got was a background on characters that rarely intertwined. In short, the book's plot was as thin as the Butcher's razor.
