Title: What happened to this series?
Review: I used to enjoy the Scarpetta series, beginning with the first novel, Post-Mortem. I drifted away after From Potter's Field, because I was tired of serial killers. What I enjoyed about those first novels was the realistic setting, characters and scales of the crime. I started reading again with the last novel and now this one. The characters have become unrealistic, jet-setting James Bond types, although James Bond doesn't spend so much time whining and complaining. These are really unpleasant people investigating ridiculously complicated crimes. This book's minor characters and sub-plots make no sense (Diane Bray?) and Cornwell's technical writing skills have deteriorated terribly. She also seems so focused on some kind of personal agenda about women and sexuality . . . I don't understand what's happened to this series.
