Rating:  Summary: I wish I had the money back. Review: Like some of the other reviewers, I am halfway through the book but I will not finish it. I have only forced myself to read this far because I asked my husband to buy it for me for Valentine's day, and I feel badly that he wasted his money.
Rating:  Summary: i wish i could've given this book 0 stars... Review: while i usually love P.C.'s books, i absolutely hated this one. it dragged, it read painfully, i'm amazed that i finished it. i tried to sell it at a used book store, but the clerk refused to buy it, he said he'd heard it was so bad. please, pat, give us more Kay, Pete, and Lucy. Give us a lot more Lucy!
Rating:  Summary: A book to hate or not? Review: I was really split on this book. On the one hand, it was a vast improvement over Hornet's Nest which always struck me as a first novel that they tried to cash in on after Cornwell established herself.This one brings back the characters from Hornet's Nest, but quits trying so dang hard to be serious. Also gone is Cornwell's paranoia, which believe me, is a welcome omission. I really enjoyed the humor, and the wildly exaggerated characterizations. Only problem is that the book had no beginning or end. It was all just middle. Plot also seemed optional. I guess the thing that surprised me the most was how much everyone else hated the book. It's not a good book, but it isn't a bad one, either.
Rating:  Summary: Sorry I spend the money Review: I wish I would have read the reviews before I bought this book. This is the second time Patricia Cornwell has dissappointed me, the first being The Hornet's Nest. I felt this book was HARD to follow and VERY corny. Please Patricia, stick to Kay Scarpetta and Pete Marino. Forget about Hammer, West and Brazil!!
Rating:  Summary: What has happened to P .C. ? Review: I am in the middle of this book and I don't think I will even waste my time to finish. P.C has been my fav for a few years now, but a good read from her is getting hard to find . *sigh*
Rating:  Summary: VERY, VERY DISAPPOINTED Review: I HAVE LOVED ALL OF PATRICIA CORNWALL'S BOOKS. I WILL NEVER BELIEVE THAT SHE ACTUALLY WROTE THIS. BEFORE I BUY ANY BOOK OF HERS AGAIN, I WILL VERY, VERY CAREFULLY READ THE REVIEWS. IF IT IS NOT ABOUT DR SCARPETTA, I WILL NOT BUY IT. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY!!!!
Rating:  Summary: This book has great characters, lots of intrigue,a good read Review: This was not her usual formula or characters but I personally loved it and would recommend it to anyone. I thought that the first few chapters went a little slowly because she was introducing us to a lot of new people but after that I could not put it down. I hope she brings these characters back in more books.
Rating:  Summary: Terrible, horrible...., don't waste your money Review: Oh mister publisher just because her name is famous doesn't mean you don't need to read it before you publish it. This must have been what you did though. If you had read it you would never have published it. I can't believe that Patricia Cornwell wrote this terrible rubbish. Her other books are much better. If this is all she can write she'd better quit while she's ahead (behind?).
Rating:  Summary: Don't waste your time with this one! Review: At the moment I'm in the middle of reading this book and I'm only going to finish it to see whether it can get any worse! Oh, Patricia if this is the best you can do, it's definitely time you got a job!!! There are enough rotten books on the market without this one. What was the publisher thinking of to even publish this dribble!!
Rating:  Summary: Not her best stuff Review: After reading all her books, this is off the mark for such an expert writer. Please consider us and write more of the Scarpetta series where there is depth of character and true suspense.
