Title: Hope this novel is not indicative...
Review: I'm a first time reader of Ms. Cornwell and this novel was very disapointing. The plot was fairly plausable, but there is were all reality stopped. Moreno appears in this book to be a stupid, blundering ass who's affiliation with anyone over an 80 IQ is totally unblieveable. I can't believe Kay's relationship with this dunderhead would last over five minutes in real life. Both her and Moreno's character wouldn't last over a day if their inputs to their supervisors were what went down in this novel. Example; Moreno's presence at a crime scene while on suspension. The police wouldn't let him anywhere near it.Since this is the first novel I've read by this author, I'm going to try one more to see if this one was just a fluke. Hope so, because the writing in this one is amateurish, with dumb dialog from every charater except the French doctor and the ATF Interpol liason agent.Well...we'll see.
Is the review positive or negative?
