Negative Positive
Title: This novel is way below a "Patricia Cornwell" standard.
Review: Although a somewhat exciting read, this is far lacking the previous polished Kay Scarpetta novels. The characters have ended up depressed and miserable, it's time to start writing something uphill. There wasn't a hint of suspense, and I found myself reading more of a soap opera drama starring the key characters in goofy dire straits. The story didn't flow, and i found many instances of descriptions that contradicted what was just a few lines or a page previous. I feel this was sloppy writing by an otherwise excellent author. We dedicated Cornwell fans could go the extra few months for a book release if it meant a tidier, more believable story.
Is the review positive or negative?
