Reading progress update: I've read 197 out of 505 pages.

Death Watch - Ari Berk

 

 

Here's the thing, if you're going to have your main character spend 200 freaking pages investigating his father's mysterious business, don't put the sentence,

 

"Unbeknownst to his son, Amos was an Undertaker, responsible for settling the account of the dead in the Shadowlands, the states of limbo binding spirits to earth." in the book blurb. 

 

Also, it's generally not fun reading about a hero who does the same thing over and over and over again without the plot EVER moving forward.
