Negative Positive
Title: A very good summer read
Review: This is probably not the best Cornwell, but she has constructed a story packed with interesting, intimate technical information and insights of a coroner's office and on pyrography. The story builds well and, for the most part, is engrossing -- only occasionally enmired in minutia (and even that can be overlooked). Crusty old Detective Marino, Chief Medical Examiner Kay Scarpetta and her brilliant niece Lucy are back and up to their good deeds. Point of Origin is both entertaining and intelligent, although the ending is too fast and more contrived than should be acceptable in a story such as this. Otherwise, certainly worth the time.
