Query: Read Hobgoblin Instead

I first read Coyne in the mid-80's. He knocked me out with Hobgoblin, which to this day is one of my all-time favorites. I've read Hobgoblin three times. I purchased Child of Shadows a few years back and finally got around to reading it a couple of weeks ago. Boy, was I disappointed. The story line is interesting, but the book dies out before it gets to the end. I had to force myself to finish it. Somewhere in the middle, I started and finished three other books before I finished Child of Shadows. If you want to read Coyne at his best, read Hobgoblin.
