Query: My first Simon Wood novel.....

....and my last.Reading the description of the book before ordering it and based on Wood's past writing creditials, I expected a pretty good novel.It started out well enough, went down hill quickly, and left me disappointed.The writing overall to me was low-caliber, the characters not people I wanted to get to know, and the dialogue a bit simple.Apparently it was Wood's debut book, which might explain it, but shouldn't. It is seemingly being republished in 2012, leading one to think it must have been a pretty good seller, but it was just not for me.It was an easy read....but also an unfilling read. Not recommended if you like a really good book and who doesn't?
