First Drop (Charlie Fox Thriller #4)

I realized once I started that this isn't actually the first book in the series (I think it's the fourth), but decided to give it a try anyway. I'm glad I didn't waste time waiting for another ILL - and I won't pursue the others in the series.
The plot was okay, but I found the writing beyond clunky, even accounting for the sometimes unfamiliar British terms. There were so many minor characters that I had no hope of keeping them straight, the dialogue was stilted at best, and not a single teen character (and there were a bunch) EVER got sarcasm or irony in conversation. Give me a break - teens are the most highly-attuned-to-irony creatures in nature!
By the end, I hardly cared what happened - I just wanted to be free of this book.
