I suppose every detective has to make some sort of mistake, to prove his humanity and open gaps for rising tension. But there’s a point beyond which the guy’s stupidity becomes just plain old irritating.

Is the story yanking me along? Yes: 200 pages in a day speaks for itself.
Are there issues that bug me about the writing (efficiency, parallelism)? Also yes. Characterization (characters suddenly using language that doesn’t fit them, extreme stereotypes and overly effusive switches)? Also also yes.
