Negative Positive
Title: A disapontment in the Scarpetta series.
Review: When I first discovered the Kay Scarpetta series of books byauthor Patricia Cornwell, I read the first five or so in quicksuccession and eagerly awaited the next in the series to be published. However, the last couple in the series have been real disappointment. I'm glad I waited for the paperback to come out and didn't spend the money up front for a hard cover. The story was predictable. We can't expect the long-suffering Kay to actually be settled or content with life can we? There is just so much personal angst in all of her relationships - with Lucy, Pete, and of course Benton. I never got caught up in the mystery and suspense like I did in the first novels. All of the background writing focuses on Kay and her troubles, not character development of other key players. I'll wait for the paperback of the next in the series if I decide to read it at all.
