Review title: "BLOW FLY" blows
Product review: As a serious fan of Patricia Cornwell's "Scarpetta" books, I looked forward to reading "BLOW FLY." Unfortunately, I feel my money was wasted. The story drug on...page after page...chapter after chapter...only to have it hurry up and close--with all kinds of loose ends!! This is NOT the way to write a novel!! All the familiar characters have dramatically shifted in temperment and even sexual proclivity (Lucy is fooling around with her new "partner" who had previously tried to rape her when she was having a clandestine lesbian affair?? come on!!!). The twist of having Benton masterminding provocative letters being sent to spur the protagonists to action is interesting--but why reveal Benton's non-death and manipulations so early in what appears to be a continuing saga?? Really--the way this book was written makes it a big YUCK--not the best selling crime fiction we have come to expect from Ms. Cornwell.
