Title: My introduction to Patricia Cornwell was not a good one
Product review: It's been a long time since I've had time to read a popular novel (grad school got in the way). But when my father left this book at our house after a visit, I figured a diversion would be nice.Unfortunately, I picked the wrong book. This is just plain horrible writing. It's cliched, it's repetative, it's obnoxious - the characters are so irritating I found it hard to care about them.But, I stuck it out to the end just to see what happened. And the ending was the worst part. It was completely anti-climactic. It ended before it ended. Just when I was ready for a police chase of dramatic showdown, I was force-fed an abrupt shut-down, with all the salient details told in reverse order. It really felt like Cornwall had a page limit, or was working with a deadline, and suddenly had to wrap up the entire plot in one fell swoop.In short, this was one of the worst novels I've ever read.
