I recently re-read her first book, POSTMORTEM,a masterpiece. Then I got this... well, abomination. Patricia Cornwell was one of my top 3 favorites for years... but her new stuff is unrecognizable. Gone is the pace, the suspense, and the character traits (affection, decency, dry humor) that made the books meaningful and interesting. Like Robert Tannenbaum, my other big favorite, whose books WERE apparently written by Michael Gruber.. when Gruber took a hike, the stories took a dive. I think Ms. Cornwell writes these books but just got bored with the series. Time to find some new authors, especially since book prices seem to go up 25% every year.
