I'm hoping for some typical Deaver double punch misdirection, but so far there hasn't been much.

I didn't think it brilliant either, compared to his usual work (gave it 3 stars), but certainly found it a whole lot better than Devil May Care by Sebastian Faulks, the previous Bond outing, which I found risible.
