Query: Bad, really bad

This novel starts off slow and then just runs out of what little steam it began with. The characters are progressively unappealing and Cornwell slides more and more right wing, if not down right racist, commentary into her books. The supposedly loveable Marino has to stop himself from saying he takes his coffee like his women "white" and the thinly veiled comments about inner city dwellers is likewise mean spirited. Frankly, by the end of this book I did not care if they all died in a multi- car wreck, and I doubt anyone else did either.
