2005

Another abrupt ending to a story that kept me interested. Not sure I want to continue to read this author. ( )

I remember a time when Patricia Cornwell's books where on my "must purchase-hardback-day it comes out list. No more.

Scarpetta seems a shadow of her former self and there is far too much Lucy. I hate Lucy. What I really hate is that I used to like the character until she became a super-hero carictature and took over far too many of the scenes. ( )

This installment is it for me for a while. Cornwell has lost my trust as a story teller. Some good episodic stuff. And I cannot say I will never take up the next books, but not for a while. ( )

It was a intelligently written narrative about some gruesome killers. The Chandonne brothers were bad dudes but Kay Scarpetta come out on top.
