Couldn't make it through this time even for the discussion. I don't think the main protagonist and I get along. The book is too long or takes too long to get the plot going. ( )

2nd in series. Also a good, fast read: I wasn't expecting much, since it is the 2nd in a series (and my experience is that the second is often not worthy of much), but the author does a nice job of clueing the reader into the back-story of the protagonist without re-writing the first book.

The puzzle was good.....but the killer was a bit obvious.

This book was introduced to me by one of the best bookstores in the world - The Sleuth on Baker Street, located in Toronto. It is based in Toronto and is the story of Ellis Portal, a once powerful lawyer who is now a homeless statistic. ( )
