Title: A "Can Put Down"
Review: Usually a Cornwell fan who finishes within a couple of days or a week, but took me nearly 3 months to wade through this one. I am not sure why I even plugged along! The murder/arsonist storyline seemed intriguing and filled with hope. The book got too caught up in tedious details of the personal lives of Kay, Lucy, et al. Interesting characters deserve much more interesting dialogue, actions, and lives! A potentially suspenseful plot with a few new twists got dumped for scenes such as visiting Lucy's apartment? Maybe Cornwell has written one too many books! I want the suspense and mystery back, but only if she can come up with new motives, new perpetrators, and a whole new outlook on life for Kay.
