Worst book I've read in a long, long time July 24, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is a stupid boring book. I figured it would be a fast-read with some entertainment value but it was only a fast read. I didn't even care what happened at the end. Doubt I'll try Cornwell again.

So let's see... how many chi-chi brand names can we pack into the pages, in between the interactions of the obnoxious (but exquisitely beautiful) DA, the wimpy (but incredibly handsome) state cop, the tough (but good hearted) municipal cop, and the bit cast of the ruthless governor, the FBI (including the ghost of J. Edgar himself), Scotland Yard, the wise old forensics expert, the Mafia, and the hapless victim (did I leave anybody out?) all wrapped up into a ludicrous plot?

Terrible book! What has happened to Patricia Cornwell? She hasn't written anything worth reading in years. The book is UNREADABLE. Couldn't get through it, and considering it is only 180 pages in faily large font on small pages, that is pretty bad. The story wanders aimlessly with no direction or plot. No one really knows any of the characters or really cares. Years ago I used to look foward to the release of a new Cornwell novel, now after her last few pieces of garbage I could care less.
Still waiting for the old Cornwell to come back. July 22, 2008 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I keep buying Patricia Cornwell books hoping for the author who wrote such great books like the Body Farm. The book was very short (i should have checked the page count before i purchased) and not all that interesting. This might be the last book i buy that's written by her.
On a side note, i'm half way through the book Twisted by Andrea Kane - if you like the older Cornwell books, i highly recommend Twisted instead.

I loved this book because Patricia Cornwell is one of my favorite authors. It really helps if you've read her former book At Risk which I read last year because the main characters are the same. Some of my friends were disapointed that Kay Scarpetta was not part of the story, but I think she has started a fresh new area to offer her readers. Her style is the same that holds your attention and leads you through the mystery.
