Title: Give it a rest before writing the next Scarpetta installment
Review: After reading "Black Notice," I felt I should call the NYPD to see if Cornwell is holding a gun to her editor's head to force publication of yet another whiny, confused, poorly edited and ultimately infuriating Scarpetta novel. Readers of series do enjoy growing with continuing characters, but just as in the one preceding this volume, "old" characters are plopped in without adequate introduction, thus mystifying new and less-devoted readers as to the details of previous actions and hence the effect on present motivations. Cornwell needs to take a long rest before tackling any more Scarpetta volumes!
