Title: I hope the First is the Worst
Review: This is the first time a have read a Cornwell novel. I hope my first time reading her is my worst experience with her novels because I will soon embark on reading three more of her novels.The sub-plots in this work, if they can even be considered sub-plots, add virtually nothing to the story line. And the addition of segments about Ms Scarpettas dead former lover, also add absolutely nothing more than adding pages. In reality these are all put in to thicken the book. If Ms Cornwell were to be honest with us, she woud admit that this "novel" could have been easily reduced to a short story.The ending is extremely disappointing. We learn nothing of what makes the killer tick. I would suggest that you selct any other novel to read. Don't waste your time on this one. Come to think of it, I should have rated this book as one star.
