Review title: Couldn't even finish
Product review: I was sorely disappointed. This was the first Scarpette book that I hadn't purchased sight unseen, due to my dislike of The Last Precinct. I checked this out of the library and I'm glad I didn't waste my money.The story is disjointed, jumping from place-to-place, one dislikable character to the next. I found myself reading and rereading pages of dialogue to try and understand what they were so angry or upset about. Marino is a patheticself-pitying whiner, Lucy is neurotic, and Wesley and Chandonne are just bizarre. Scarpetta, in spite of then book being "A Scarpetta Novel", is barely in the first 200 pages.I read about 300 pages and then decided I wasn't enjoying myself and wasting my time. This is the first book I've put down unfinished in years.
