What Does The Score "2.5" Mean? Poor: Below the bar. Excessive flaws cast a shadow over what may otherwise be enjoyable or have artistic merit. Not worth re-reading except for comfort or nostalgia. Recommendable only to those with a strong interest in its topic.

A police thriller where the protagonist, a forensics cop with a CIA background, works to figure out who's trying to frame him for the work of a psycho that loves building murder tunnels. The intrigue is competent, but there are no twists whatsoever, and the writing quality ranges ranging from serviceable to quite poor. Gets a 2.5 instead of a 2 because, for all that, I was sufficiently drawn in to read most of it straight through.
