Summary: Best Cornwell in Quite Some Time
Review: After being somewhat disappointed by recent Cornwell efforts, I almost didn't pick this one up, but I have to say that I'm glad I did. In fact, I read it in one sitting! My only gripe was the ending. It read like it was thrown together as an afterthought, no real excitement. But hey, they are her characters! I'm looking forward to Black Notice.
Rating: 
Summary: Very, VERY good
Review: As intense and suspenseful as The Triumph and the Glory", as fast-paced as anything Cornwell has ever given us, and as satisfying at the end as one could ask, Point of Origin is a must-read. I really enjoyed it and I'm pretty hard to please.

Summary: A Masterpiece
Review: Her best yet! I laughed and cried while reading this book. However, if you haven't read any of her other "Scarpetta" series, DO NOT read this one first. It seemed to be the grand finale of the scarpetta series, and was my favorite by far. Brilliant and heart felt writing! I felt as if I personally knew the characters. Start with some other of her Scarpetta novels and you'll be hooked!

Summary: Almost even worse than the last one
Review: I really enjoyed Patricia Cornwell's first few books. I found Scarpetta engaging, even though she seems somewhat right wing to me, supporting guns, capital punishment and worshiping various law enforcement agencies as though they can do no wrong.However as the books have continued I have found them less and less enjoyable. This business of carrying baddies over several books is tedious and predictable. The love interest with Benson is, for me, a complete turn off. The best thing as far as I am concerned is towards the end of the book - I think some reviewers have unfairly blown the gaff on this one but I will remain vague. Lucy is a pain.

Summary: Once again, Patricia Cornwell writes a great one!
Review: I love all Patricia's books and hopefully someday we'll see movies made out of them???

Summary: The first 93% of the book was excellent.
Review: Point of Origin contains the usual Cornwell trademarks - technical detail, action, and suspense. The author also includes past characters , creating a link to other books, thereby giving the reader a feeling that he is part of the story. However, the ending left me dissatisfied. Ms Cornwell seemed in a hurry to get rid of the antagonists. The final confrontation could not actually be called a "face off," since they do not meet face to face. Even with this small discrepancy, though, Point of Origin still kept me reading when I should have been working.
Rating:
Summary: A fast-paced suspense thriller
Review: Only "The Triumph and the Glory" kept me as spellbound as Cornwell's newest book. "Point of Origin" is very, very good, I think it is her best in several years, and you would do well to give it a try. I hope you do, you won't regret it.

Summary: Another winner!!!!
Review: Just finished Point of Origin and was totally exhausted. This was a truly amazing, gut wrenching, suspenseful book. Once I started I had to force myself to take a break at 3:00 a.m. I always come away learning something and slightly terrified.....ABSOLUTELY GREAT!!! I can't wait to get the next book but until then I will definitely re-read this one, slower this time to digest all the little clues and atmosphere the author so expertly provides. I recommend starting at the beginning of the Scarpetta series to get to know her and the circle of characters that surround her.

Summary: Fantastic! One of the best so far.
Review: I was excited, obsessed, devastated, and elated, and those are just a few of my emotions. I really felt that this book portrayed a more human side to Kay Scarpetta. This book was far more clinical and graphic than some of it's predecesors, but it was really important to the whole storyline. Patricia Cornwell has become one of my favorite authors, and I think that she really has outdone herself with this book. I anxiously await the next.
