Title: She just doesn't cut the mustard...
Product review: I think it's fine when a writer tries something different. I think it's especially great when that writer discovers new avenues for personal creativity and reader involvement. But there's a problem with "Southern Cross". It is a juvenile and poorly written attempt. It's boring, and after the first few pages, it's repetitive and heavy-handed. Carl Hiaasen does it masterfully well, Patricia Cornwell has a long way to go before she gets a grip on humor and satire.
