"Comic romp"?? Puh-leeze. I was appalled at how bad this was. Incoherent and heavy-handed; Cornwell should stick to Scarpetta and leave the humor to those who actually possess a sense of whimsy.

One of the blurb reviews compared it to the work of Carl Hiaasen, which is just so insulting that Hiaasen should sue.

I also think the residents of the actual island of Tangier, Virginia, should sue as well. Her depiction of them was positively offensive.
