Up Country / Nelson DeMille

Interesting, though huge. Paul Brenner, the main character from The General's Daughter, goes back to Vietnam to investigate a murder that took place during the siege of Quang Tri.

I kind of hate the way it ends, though I am quite sure what happens after, based on the characters involved. But in a bestseller, the whole point is to read things happen, not assume them. But that resolution might have been a whole book in and of itself.

Brenner's relationship with Susan Weber sounds like the worst date/relationship ever, though there's lots of sex involved. Which is, of course, why bad relationships linger longer than you might expect from any rational point of view.
