Title: Chumming the Waters
Product review: I always feel for an author whose fans won't allow her to experiment, to grow, or to change, but PDC must hold up her end of the bargain as well. This book is just "odd." Talking crabs, broad farce, dire circumstances, tons of bathroom humor, a nearly perfect trooper (Andy Brazil) and an equally intelligent boss (Hammer) lost in a sea of one dimensional Virginia morons.I'm willing to let Kay fade away and Judy and Andy to flourish, but this book is poorly written, poorly plotted, poorly paced, and is neither in the humor camp nor the police reality fiction camp. It's just plain odd.Worst of all, I feel cheated. I bought this book without checking the reviews and, worse!, in hardback. Cornwell's just chumming the waters for her money machine with this title. Skip it.
