Title: Actually, this is a 'no star'
Review: Senile dementia vulgaris continues at Putnam's with a new Cornwell Scarpetta. Not their fault I guess, as people seem willing to pay for this. A series in its midlife that was excellent, has turned into an angry ( the primary theme for the first 90 pages is comic book angst) poorly researched (a morgue attendant has recently died of smallpox) potboiler of only the lukest of warm water. Phisoderm? Her `mind crashed like a bad hard drive?' But after all, its free money, isn't it? If you can't resist, check it out of your local library and save a few trees.
