Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Less and less enchanted with the Kay Scarpetta novels, I nonetheless bought this based on the rave reviews I read here. I did finish this book in record time, because I just turned pages and pages at a time through mind-numbing descriptions of bullets and shooting recreations. I absolutely will not be tricked into buying another--very tired of Lucy the Wonder Girl, but mostly of the world of Dr. Scarpetta who is so important that bad guys seeks her out as a target and go to unbelievably extraordinary means to rub her out. Where have all the interesting autopsies gone? Too much techno-showoff here, with murders tenuously tied together, and not enough character interactions....Where are the Scarpettas of yesteryear? They were fantastic.
