Summary: Just Not There
Review: I think the biggest reason I was so disapointed was I was so looking forward to her next book. I was so dispointed what usually takes 4 days took 2 weeks. It just rambled on, I always seemed to know what was going to happen next and the killer didn't even die in the end. I wish these publishers didn't make a decent author write a damn book every 3 months. When they do this is what happens.

Summary: All fleshed out and nowhere to go...
Review: I'm a huge Cornwell fan, but this one does not hack it. Richmond is my hometown and I enjoy some of the references as to what street the character is on and what they see as they are passing, but enough is enough, does anyone really cares about so much detail. Her forte is definitely fleshing out charaters and making them live and she does that here but its like she spent 99.9% of the book fleshing out these (some of them great) characters but then the climax is a fizzle. Definitely not my favorite, though I hope she does bring these characters back. I especially liked the woman radio operator who went berserk and attacked the guy who gave her a parking ticket. My kind of gal.

Summary: Not her usual standard - Pat - Stick with what you know...
Review: I didn't want to believe the reviews so I got an audio version of this book. I am sorry I did - With someone reading it too me - it only highlighted how disjointed the story line really was. Plus-somehow the attempt to use 'colorful' language seemed forced and almost offensive.

Summary: Great cure for insomnia
Review: I literally have nothing positive to say about this book. The characters were grossly underdeveloped, the storyline was plodding and slow, and the ending was utterly predictable. It will take a rave review for me to ever spend money on Ms. Cornwell's work again.

Summary: The Worst Yet
Review: I love Cornwell's books. I've read every one of them. This book was terrible. The worst she's written. I don't know what she was thinking. I couldn't believe all the dialogue from the cat and dog. And a cat helping Brazil know West was faking him out? Puhleesse! Don't buy this book. If you must read it, buy mine.

Summary: Cornwell should stick to Kay Scarpeta!
Review: Patricia Cornwell should stick to forensic science! This book is slow and seems disjointed. the characters have all the appeal of watching grass grow. i won't buy another unless it's about Scarpeta. why mess with a good thing. anyone i talk to can't stand it. her books are usually a treat to read; they shouldn't be a chore!

Summary: Hated it
Review: I wish I could get my money back. I will never buy another book by her again. I have forced myself to finish her last two books. And I still didn't learn my lesson.

Summary: not up to par
Review: I could not get into this storyline. usually read one of your books in 2 or 3 nights. this one took mew 2 weeks.

Summary: a real disappointment
Review: To be honest, this is one of those books which I have to struggle through every line and every page, and reading Cornwell has never been this painful. The plots are not as rich, the writing not as engaging as she was doing Scarpetta and Wesley. Cornwell has every reason to try something new but this, I am afraid, is absolutely a venture on the wrong note. Maybe I am wrong- I gave up reading halfway.
Rating:
Summary: a pretty poor book
Review: Ms. Cornwell should either go back to writing Kay Scarpetta books, or if she has exhausted her possibilities there, retire and enjoy her millions. This is an awful book. I would not recommend it to anyone.
