Dreadful..... absolutely dreadful. I really have no idea what this book was about. It was quite a disappointment. I do not recommend. ( )

I have read a lot of Patricia Cornwell and I find these ones kind of boring. ( )

The author depends too much on her readers having read the first in her series to understand, this, the second. To be expected of an author who truly develops characters, but I felt I had to keep catching up in this story of a state police officer and a district attorney caught up in a web of crime and surveillance.

I really enjoy the Kay Scarpetta series. This book felt like it was written by a different author. The writing felt juvenile and unfocused. It was very simplistic and many times it felt like events weren't explained. The ending was a big WTF moment, not because it was shocking but because it made no sense. I do not recommend this book at all. ( )

A short work that started somewhere and ended nowhere. The title has nothing to do with the plot which was underdeveloped and senseless. I guess once you're a famous author you can get pretty much anything published. It was a quick read and doesn't require any brain power to follow the plot so that's a plus, I guess. ( )
