Title: Extreme disappointment after reading this one.
Review: As an Edna Buchanan and Britt Montero fan I was filled with immense disappointment after reading this one. "Garden of Evil" required more suspension of disbelief than I am capable of. And, Britt's photographer friend at "The News" has become one very annoying character. James Lee Burke and Clive Cussler have proven that a continuing character can get stale and become a parody of itself. It may be time for Edna Buchanan to give Britt a rest and during the pause give us a new protagonist. Then Britt can return refreshed, much like James Robicheaux and Dirk Pitt have after interludes by their authors. Michale Connelly has broken up his Harry Bosch series three times, and that certainly looks like the right way to keep a character vibrant. Edna Buchanan has given us much much better about Miami (and Britt) and is capable of so much more. This is not up to the usual high Buchanan standard.
