The suspense is average, the plot is average, and the complex description of human nature is a bit more. But I admire the criminal policeman who hates evil and does whatever it takes to solve the case.
Very average
The plot, criminal methods and reasoning process are nothing new and there is not much writing. If the focus of the writing is to create those characters, they have no charm. They are a bit middle-of-the-road, like watching a cartoon.
