Cornwell just doesnt write like she used to.

Not my favorite Patricia Cornwell book, although it was an ok read. I don't think I like this new style of hers where everything is written in third person. Just didn't flow well for me. I'm currently reading Book of the Dead and like that one better.

I used to loooove Cornwell's Scarpetta novels. It's been a long time since I've read read any of hers and this one (not a Scarpetta) was certainly nothing special. I was thankful it was only short.

This is probably the most boring book by Patricia Cornwell I have read thus far.

Better than the first book. I think she should have made it a little longer so that the plot wasn't so rushed.

Al buio di Patricia Cornwell, che condivide con la Yoshimoto - ma ancora per poco - il primato di essere letta appena esce in qualsiasi lingua, è un libro brutto di cui si poteva fare tranquillamente a meno, come anche del suo predecessore in termini di personaggi: A rischio. Ritroviamo il detective mezzo nero mezzo indiano con tanto di nonna sensitiva, Win Garano e il suo temibile procuratore distrettuale Monique Lamont, una al cui confronto Hilary Clinton fa tenerezza. Storia senza capo né coda, assolutamente risparmiabile, come parecchi dei recenti libri dell'autrice. Forse è il caso che ti metti a riposo e che ti godi i tuoi soldi cara mia.

Not as good as the Kay Scarpetta books.

holy crap, this book was SO awful, i couldn't finish it. PC has totally lost her ability to tell a story, to develop characters. she needs a wakeup call before she even thinks about putting out a next book. she basically has ruined the scarpetta series, and now is just putting out drivel for the $, since she has the name to back it. VERY disappointing!

I was really disappointed in this Patricia Cornwell book. I couldn't read the Scarpetta series fast enough and this book was just a chore.
