Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I've read every Scarpetta book, some more than once, but this is the last one. Depraved Heart may be the worst book I've ever read. Plodding doesn't begin to describe it. I made up my mind that I would finish it and I did, but it was a chore. I don't understand Cornwell's intent with this series, but the plots strain credulity and Kay Scarpetta has become insufferably smug and elitist. Half of this. book was about Lucy's estate and cars and original art work and the perfume Benton orders for Kay from Italy, etc. And I was VERY unhappy that the monumental cliffhanger ending of the previous book was not even mentioned!!! Goodbye, Kay, it was nice while it lasted.
