Negative Positive
Title: Perfectly awful
Review: I have been a big fan of this series, but this book reads like a high school student trying to write a term paper due the next day. The backbiting and soap opera behavior of the characters and the plodding plots make this book extrememly tedious. The only enjoyable parts of the book were the ones dealing with the technical aspects of forensic work. Other descriptive words that come to mind are: depressing, sophmoric, lurching, disjointed and melodramatic. I do hope that this book was just a temporary lapse on the part of Ms. Cornwell and that she will produce something more palatable next time.
