Query: Where's the beef?

I've read a few Crais books and when he's good, I'm a huge fan. There is always some satisfaction in visiting old characters but this one stretches it pretty thin. In fact the book feels so weak and the story as a whole so pointless, you wonder what the point is. It's the kind of book from a good writer that can kill a series and makes you question the genre. It's not thrilling and it's not mysterious so what is it? And chapters that are half a page? Come on. There's just not allot of meat on the bones and I felt myself working hard to just get through it. Usually on holidays I roar through books like these. This one? I crawled.
