Title: Oh Ms. Cornwell...
Product review: I am an incredibly devout fan of Ms. Cornwell, from her Ruth Graham Bell biography to Dr. Scarpetta to Judy Hammer. That said, I found this experiment into postmodern literature asinine and mind-numbingly boring. I'm about 3/4 of the way through the book (it's already been a week, a record for me and a Cornwell book) but if I keep waking my husband up with my groaning, he just might hide the book before I can finish it! While the parody might have worked with different characters (and a little more fleshing out), Cornwell has already introduced us to Hammer and Brazil - which makes it rather difficult to match these their caricatures with the characters we already know. Brazil's essays, while interesting, make room for plot holes big enough to drive a truck through. Hopefully the esteemed Ms. Cornwell will return to her roots: fast paced, well plotted and thoroughly researched novels about strong women and the mysteries of the criminal mind.
