Title: What a stench
Review: Terrible book! I didn't know who I wanted to die more--Kay or Diane Bray! Wish it had been Kay. "Black Notice" is simply terrible. Arguments come out of nowhere and sanctimoniousness is at full throttle. And why was it again that Marino accompanied Scarpetta to France? Did he actually do anything but clobber Kay's stud (yeah the sex scene... unbelievable, if you can even call it a sex scene... and him declaring his undying feelings after an afternoon romp? Ridiculous!) Scarpetta's holier than thou attitude is getting progressively worse. And did she have a conversation with anyone she didn't get in a fight with or have negative feelings about? The French cab driver... her poor maid who forgot to change the towels... Sheesh. Let's not even get started on Lucy. She's a lunatic. By now, we all know about Cornwell's own proclivities, but does she have to give all gay people a bad name? Please, Patricia, stop typing and start spending some of that money of yours and have a good time.
