Review title: Pathetic...what's wrong with you, Patricia Cornwell...?!
Product review: This was perhaps the worst of the Kay Scarpetta books, and I consider myself a loyal fan of Patricia Cornwell's. The characters are disjointed and the plot lurches from one improbable scenario to the next. The introduction of the character Nic(olette) Robillard is purposeless, as her development is so stunted I felt no sympathy whatsoever even though this woman is seeking justice for her mother's murder while simultaneously trying to raise a small son on her own since her husband abandoned them. While it was indeed fun to revisit the horrific brothers Chandonne and the palpably nasty Bev Kiffin, the last 10 pages of this novel are clearly a hastily, poorly thought-out, thrown-together attempt at bringing closure to the entire mess. It's so hurriedly concluded I literally felt betrayed by the time I got to the last page. I'm not bothering to read any further Scarpetta tales after this debacle.
