Query: Well written, but boring

A good way to ruin a story is to add too many complicated plot twists. This book goes completely the other way, having no real twists and turns. Lucas Davenport returns to investigate the murder of the son of a rich and powerful Russian businessman along with help from a female Russian "cop". The problem is there is no real suspense. They basically figure out each step as they go. The complimentary characters are thin and entrirely too predictable. Even when the main storyline was revealed I was left asking "So What?". Bottom line is I found the book to be well-written, but the story very thin and dull.
