Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Any Cornwell work is better than some other books, but... I have NEVER liked the way Marino has been handled in the entire series - now he is like a caricature- before he was street wise liasion to Scarpetta, then he blew up to a large smoking drinking person who had health problems, and now he is aloof big muscle bound biker guy who is at odds with Scarpetta and knows something funny is going on with the misinformation - The series and this novel does not have the BITE it did - if you would reread the first books that made a wave in the thriller genre you will understand what I mean. We've gone through a lot with the regulars of this series - they have not progressed in the way the folks who pay hardback prices would like. Not so sure I will pay hardback prices again for this series again. and that's sad.
