Title: Not a complete waste of time
Product review: I love all of Patricia Cornwell's Scarpetta books, they are fast-paced and intriguing. The style of this book is the opposite, a lot of jerking back and forth between subplots that sort of come together in the end. I took this book on a trip and was going to give it to my mom when I was done reading it, but I wasn't sure if she'd like it or even if I liked it. I also couldn't really say what it was about, but it suggests things like racism, police brutality, high school violence, without ever coming to a real point. I like the characters Hammer, West, and Brazil, but I felt like any development of them was confusing and conflicted a bit with my impressions of them from Hornet's Nest. I think PC's strong points as a writer are her ability to make you want to turn the page and finish the book in one sitting, but this book made me want to put it down and walk out of the room.
