Negative Positive
Title: A Mediocre Effort
Review: Not the best of her books, but definitely the most emotional of the books. Cornwell has become one of my favorite writers, but this novel fell short. The plot was good, but not well developed. The relationships between her characters seem strained. Dr. Scarpetta seems unusually overprotective and overbearing toward her niece, Lucy, and the exit of Benton was a poor choice especially since their relationship was just starting to take off. Hopefully the next book will pull her out of the rut of her last few bad efforts.
