The Lies of Locke Lamora

Listened to this one in the car. The reader on the audio book is very good, btw. The story moves along at a pretty good pace, but there's a good chunk of the book devoted to world building - which pays off at the end as it all comes together. It bounces back and forth between the main story and ‘interlude' flashbacks on the main character's early life. I found that a bit jarring at first, but got used to the rhythm of it after awhile. Enjoyed this one - and I look forward to the next one in the series.
