Review title: A fly in my soup would be more enjoyable!
Product review: As a fan of Patricia Cornwell, I was really disappointed by this novel. It almost seemed as if someone else wrote the book, and not Cornwell. The characters lacked their usual depth, grittiness, and familial interaction. Lucy, Marino, and Scarpetta seemed cardboard and hollow, almost one dimensional. Half of the book is spent reminding the reader of each character's history (as if we need a refresher course). This lackluster effort comes to a dismal, predictable, and incredibly speedy ending. The finale is probably the worst part of the novel, as it wraps up in about 5 pages, without a hint of suspense, drama, or thrill. Definitely not an "edge of your seat" read. Fans should skip this one and hope the next effort is better.
