Title: Not up to snuff
Product review: First, Patricia Cornwell is a great writer! I love all of her other books I have had the time to read. As I recall, Hornet's Nest received many bad reviews and I could not figure out why: loved the story and loved the 3 characters. HOWEVER, this book was just plain bad. Hoping to get a great continuation on Hammer, West, and Brazil, the characters were shells of their former selves. Too many incredibly unreasable things going on and far too many characters scrunched into a very lame ending. Worse yet, these folks are high level police personnel in Richmond, VA (why couldn't they stay in Charlotte anyway?) and there was no run-in with Scarpetta or Moreno? Lord knows I couldn't do it any better myself, but still, Cornwell could have. I do hope the big three appear again, however, I definitely hope it is better than this. PEACE
