Negative Positive
Title: Yeesh...character development... PLEASE!
Review: I have read all of the Kay Scarpetta mysteries. She and the rest of the gang started off as creative, interesting characters. They have "evolved" into just the opposite. What first intrigued me were the clinical details AND the characters. The settings and details are still of interest, but the characters have turned into one-dimensional static charicatures (Marino as overweight blue collar rough cop, Lucy as angry brainiac, etc.) There is no passion or life left in any of them. Alas...I fear I must bid farewell to Kay and Ms. Cornwell.
