Not a complete dumpster fire

The book is mostly bland and the author is completely scattered. The author keeps adding things into the story for seemingly no real point. Going from mystery, to sci-fi, to adventure, then they throw in some romance for no reason, and then they suddenly remember that they needed a villain.
The male character is incredibly incapable. He is supposed to be a logical person who is trying to find the truth, but in reality, he is more like a bumbling side-kick who is unable to take a piss without being constantly instructed through each step.
The female of the two IRS agents is the strongest character in the story, and I feel that the reason the author chose to make Alfred the MC is to illustrate how capable Nancy is. Nancy can shoot, comes prepared, has inspirational flashes, understand quantum theory, time travel. And it comes off like she is being forced to help this autistic child.
The antagonist in the story, not counting the main character, is a special kind of idiot. The author has made it a point to not reveal the character until the very end. But let me try to sum up their motivations and personality.
There is a scene where at the middle of the night, Nancy comes up to the MC and unleashes this torrent of disjointed non-sensical theory at a person who is half-asleep. That is what the bad guy feels like. A 3 AM rant.
