2.5

If anything, the main character didn’t have enough flaws. He could track, he could save lives, he could solve mysteries, he could woo the ladies. All from a Winnebago while unraveling the mysteries of he father’s death. 

I usually like Deaver, and I loved Blue Nowhere. I just struggled to get into this one. 

It’s not bad. It just feels like it’s checking the plot point boxes by rote.
