Story is fun, dialogue is fine, premise is good ... But good Lord if I hear about the lactic acid buildup in the muscles during specific reps of a workout AGAIN or about the man's veins in his muscles I might give up on reading this. Too much frivolous details in general. Sometimes just feels like he's trying to get to a certain word count by filling in random details that don't have to do with the story.

Nope can't do it. Half the details about CrossFit, photography, heritage websites, etc. could be removed and a significant chunk of this book would be gone and I would be less bored. Frustrating as the actual case is interesting and the characters were a little bland but had potential. Was going to try to get through it but I just don't think this author is for me.
