Title: Horrid!
Product review: I've read several Cornwell books and enjoyed most of them (not Hornet's Nest). Southern Cross, however, is just plain stupid. It came across as a cartoon -- you've seen them, the ones where the animals are smarter than their humans. The nicknames wore thin early on. Does everyone in Richmond have an idiotic nickname? I bet not. As someone a few reviews back said, "It's not bad." No, it's not; it's wretched. What happened to the idea of developing good plots? Some character worth latching onto? Has Patricia Cornwell been abducted by aliens?
