Title: Patricia Cornwell is a fraud
Review: I was lead to believe this book would be worth a read, but having done so, I realize that my money was wasted. Ms. Cornwell is NOT a forensic scientist, as the jacket and reviews would have one believe. She worked in a forensic lab. Using that as a basis for schooling, I cannot wait until the janitor or plumber from the lab spews his solving of the infamous murders. She immediately starts the book off by stating that Sickert had sexual dysfunction. In no way does she prove this, its just her hunch. She then goes on a wild run about his art featuring death, etc. At the time he was an artist, an entire movement in the art world was rebelling against the Impressionists, though not one (Oscar Wilde included) was ever thought of as a murderer. This group actually studied death, murder and the like. Before you waste your money on this title, check into Patricia Cornwell's own history and her own involvement in the judicial system. Its good to know where an author spawns from.
