Title: Not up to her usual standards
Review: Cornwell seemed to be resting on her laurels with "Black Notice". I found the story to be disorganized and hard to follow. She introduces several elements, but then goes nowhere with them. I felt the story ended with several threads left hanging, or with forced conclusions. She would have done better to simplify the plot and leave out some of the extraneous story lines.
