Title: What a disappointment!
Review: Stay away from this one. It's hard to be specific about thisbook's many deficiencies without giving away plot twists, but: Can'tCornwell invent a believable criminal any longer? Motivation and forensic-pathology procedures are given short shrift; Scarpetta herself goes two-dimensional. This is most manifest in the pallid, watery descriptions of Kay's heterosexual activity. Coded and overt lesbianism, however, luridly and lovingly takes center stage. Put it this way: If this were the first Kay Scarpetta mystery you picked up, you'd never pick up another one.
