Title: What's with Ms Cornwell?
Product review: Although I've read all of Patricia Cornwell's novels and have appreciated her work over the years, every now and again she misses the mark. Unfortunately, this novel represents one of those times. She is a craftsman skilled in the genre of the suspense novel; however, Trace is missing many key elements. No action, no climax and a pathetic ending that leaves the reader wondering if this novel was written solely to fulfill a contract deadline. I think Ms Cornwell does her best work when she is enthused about and dedicated to her subject. The character, Kay Scarpetta, has served her well in the past...not the case here.
