Review title: Big wind-up, no delivery
Product review: Having read The Last Precinct, I looked forward to its follow-up, where hopefully Cornwell would help convict the Hairy One (Jean Cardonne) and in the process also jail his crime-ridden French family. Alas, Blow Fly gets off to a good start but dissolves like the Wicked Witch in The Wizard of Oz in it last hundred pages --a puddle of slimy goo on the floor. A long dead Scarpetta lover suddenly reappears. Jean Cardonne --supposedly blinded by acid-- can suddenly see again and escapes from prison. Further we are subjected to page after page of pyscho-babble as Scarpetta's inner self is explored. And the ending, oh the ending ! It sets us up for still ANOTHER Hairy One saga.Not for me, Ms. Cornwell, unless you catch and kill him off in the very first chapter and proceed with another totally new set of Scarpetta characters, letting Kay do what she does best, working her forensic magic with the likes of Marino to chase down the perps.
