Title: Portrait of an author's ego
Review: To quote the author herself, "It is sad that men whose lives and careers were touched by the Ripper cases would spin theories almost as baseless as some of those offered by people who weren't even born at the time of the crimes." Patricia Cornwell case is as baseless as those she criticizes. It offers little more than an ego trip, with occasional salacious details, often unrelated, to keep the average reader titillated. She offers little of substance to prove her case. Rather, she starts with an assumption, not even original to her, and warps facts to fit her hypothesis. And the book is not even well written. It is poorly organzed and jumpy.
