Negative Positive
Title: Far too introspective and lacking in mystery/suspense.
Review: I have read all of Patricia Cornwell's books, and have truely enjoyed them...until this one. Kay Scarpetta spends fully two-thirds of the book in some kind of depression, absorbed with "personal" problems, and in a generally weakly written personal battle with another strong female character. This novel does neither woman any favors (nor does it do any favors to Patricia Cornwell). I would, frankly, guess that, unfortunately, production speed and "reaping the rewards" outweighed a substantial, well thought-out story.
Is the review positive or negative?
