Negative Positive
Title: Read while waiting for the lastest Dr. Scarpetta novel.
Review: If this series of books intrigues you, DO NOT read this book first. Put it down and read some of his later works. Then, if you think you'd like more of Dr. Jessica Coran, give it a go. Mr. Walker has put together a book that was painful to read at times. I say this as an individual who grew up in Hawaii. It's obvious that he's intoxicated with the magic of the islands, but, yikes!, leave the local pidgin, culture and language to the Convention & Visitors Bureau. The whole series of "Instinct" books are somewhat formulaic: young, gorgeous (but) brilliant foresenic medicine expert/FBI agent must confront and overcome monstrous perps. Male counterparts learn to appreciate and treasure this jewel of a woman, and when they do, they betray, they worry, they love, etc., etc.If you are a fan of Dr. Scarpetta or "good ole" V.I. and need some kind of fix in between novels, this'll do in a pinch.
