Title: An enormous disappointment
Product review: There is a definite difference between Patricia Cornwell's Scarpetta books and her others. Her others stink on ice. The characters are unbelievable, the plot absurd. I understand the need for a writer to try different things, but Ms. Cornwell's editor and literary agent should try to keep her ego in check. There was no reason for this book to be published, unless she was trying to write a parody of Hiassen or Leonard. If that was the case she had me fooled.The most frustrating thing about several of Cornwell's books is that she just seems to end them with no real resolution. She must give herself a number of words as a minimum and when she hits it she stops. There are ten characters in this book about whom we have no idea what happens to them.Kay Scarpetta is one of the most compelling characters in popular fiction. I will continue to read the books about her. I will not make the mistake of chasing Ms. Cornwell off the reservation the next time.
