Title: Don't waste your time!
Review: I have read many of Patricia Cornwell's books, and have thoroughly enjoyed them all -- until now. Honestly, my impression of this book is that Ms. Cornwell had a publisher deadline to meet and had absolutely nothing to submit, so she threw this together. The first 3 or 4 chapters should have been a good indication to me that I didn't want to finish this book, but being familiar with her other work, I kept forging ahead, waiting for it to get better. It never did. In a review of a John Grisham book, I mentioned his character development was lacking compared to some of his other works. In this Cornwell book, there were no characters, only caricatures. The story line was unimaginative, and the most intelligent actor in the book was Deputy Chief West's CAT!
