Title: A laughable mystery
Product review: Well, I should have known better than to try another book in this series. But, as a Patricia Cornwell fan, I thought we could only go up from "Hornet's Nest." Wrong. Cornwell's main three characters -- Hammer, West and Brazil -- are portrayed too narrowly for us to ever care about any of them. In fact, readers will hear more insights from the pets in the story than from the detectives in charge. (By the way, there are several pages of insipid conversations from pet cats and a dog. Gimme a break!)I realize there was supposed to be some humor in this story, but it all falls flat. From now on I'll know to stick with Cornwell's series with Scarpetta.
