Review title: Disappointing
Product review: The author cuts the heart out of the book by using the third person narrative; at first I kept flipping ahead to see if Kay herself would join us at some point, but alas, she did not. The cast of characters we have known for so long seems here to be played by unenthusiastic and not-very-talented stand-ins and everyone spends an inordinate amount of time feeling sorry for themselves. The return of Benton Wesley was about as believable as Bobby Ewing in the shower in the old "Dallas" soap. Towards the end of the book things began to get more interesting, but the tale was abruptly brought to a halt by the killing off of the vast majority of the people who were causing problems - voila, no more story left (or, are they REALLY dead... but at this point, who cares). Maybe Patricia Cornwell was pressured to do another Kay Scarpetta book when she really didn't feel up to it. Hopefully she will bring the good doctor back in style someday, or if not, let her retire with dignity.
