Title: Cornwell taking herself too seriously
Product review: I enjoyed the early Scarpetta books, but the last few (and those ridiculous books set in North Carolina!) have left me very disappointed. I've come to believe that Cornwell thinks SHE's the Medical Examiner, and that she's the smartest crimesolver alive, and is living vicariously through the Scarpetta character.All this nonsense about flying helicopters (which Cornwell does in real life) while solving crimes (which Cornwell thinks she's qualified to do in real life, i.e. the Diana and Ripper stuff) is just too unrealistic. And she's developed such an unlikeable personality in Kay that I'm no longer rooting for her to get out of harm's way. From her "I-take-myself-too-seriously" TV interviews, I think that personality is Cornwell's as well. And Lucy... Gawd. Does anybody find that obnoxious character likeable in any way?Sad that what was once an entertaining and stimulating series has turned into such drivel.
