Negative Positive
Title: Too bad there's no zero-star rating......
Review: The skinny on Patricia Cornwell is that her first three Scarpetta novels were first rate and the rest aren't worth reading. Black Notice does nothing to alter this with it's poor plotting and characterization and emphasis on the characters' weepy angst. It's a shame, really. PC has so many loyal fans that anything she writes goes straight to the best-seller list and makes her another five million dollars, so why spend a lot of time on suspense, believable characters and tight plotting ?
Is the review positive or negative?
