Review title: Grave disappointment
Product review: Having read all the Scarpetta novels, I was looking forward to another, but disliked Cornwell's approach from the get-go. I never rekindled any like for any of the characters, and felt she muddled her way through a half-baked idea. Very little held together, the characters were all on the verge of or within nervous breakdowns, and just when things would get suspenseful or interesting, the novel would break down.It's a pity that once good novelists like Cornwell or Clancy really make it, they rest on their laurels and dispense with the aid of a good editor. The more recent efforts from these authors are not good (I didn't even finish Clancy's, it was so bad, which is in shocking contrast to his older books.)
