Worst Patricia Cornwell book yet. Pages and pages of the same dialogue and storyline repeated over and over. If I had to hear about sweat soaked clothes and wet slimy shoes one more time I'd have screamed. Scarpetta is shown in the worst ways in this book - self-absorbed, know-it-all, and wavers from self-doubt to over-confidence. This book is all over the place and just drags on and on. We are treated to pages and pages of useless telling of setting up a perimeter and tent over the crime scene. We are treated to the same things repeated over and over, chapter to chapter. I'm 72% into the book and the only reason I'm that far and will finish it is because I don't have the option to return it for refund because I waited too long to start reading it. The book is BORING and just keeps rehashing itself time and again. Boring, unimaginative, weak plot, another woe is me I'm being pursued angle. Time for you to stop writing Patricia Cornwell, you've lost your touch. I will never purchase another of your books.
