Query: A big letdown after "The Flanders Panel"

I had a hard time following the story of this book. Corso is an uninteresting protagonist. Irene is just there to provide the sexual tension and the sex (what the hell did she see in Corso to sleep with him anyway?). The supporting characters are so one-dimensional that I got them confused with each other. Toward the end, I had forgotten what mystery they were trying to solve in the first place! Save your money.
