good but not perfect start

I agree with most of the other reviewer's points: solid writing, but somehow not wildly engaging. I also found the continual trivial discussions by local townfolk tiring, am tired of good cop/bad cop plots (but at least the bad one isn't the boss of the protagonist!), and there were too many minor characters who would reappear with some important tidbit, and I would forget who exactly they were.However, I think it makes a good start of a series.
