"PROTAGONIST: Winston Garano, Massachusetts State Police investigator SERIES: Standalone - originally written as a 15-part series for The New York Times Magazine RATING: 2.25 WHY: A welcome relief, glad to see the Scarpetta Stable put out to pasture. This wasn't much better, but I was able to finish it. Flat characters, implausible plotting. But that beats the Scarpetta series that had outrageous characters and outlandish plotting."
"Meh. I listened to the audio version of this book. I actually have the book but never got around to reading it, i saw the audio version in the library and needed something to pass the time while driving so i grabbed it, thinking... Cool, i will finally get to see what that book is about. Well... Meh. It was mediocre at best. if I had read it rather than listened to it I might even be more harsh in reviewing this, sorry Patricia Cornwell, but it just wasn't that good of a storyline, in was dry and the characters were unlikable, i see where she was going with Win saving Miss Dog, and protecting Susie from her dead-beat husband, yeah okay so you want me to think he is a nice guy.. okay... I liked his Gram okay too but it just didn't draw me in, Win seemed underdeveloped, and Monique seemed cliched and a stereo-type of a boss who is a self serving ambitious bish. Come on, please i realise you want her to be multi-sided as well, but it just didn't work. I never really felt any connection to any of the characters. Maybe it was because it was such a short book... maybe that is why it just didn't work well. The characters seemed to cookie cutter stiff. Maybe the narrators voice provoked some dislike as well, there were times that it was hard to distinguish betwen characters, there was not enogh clarity between the characters from the narrator.
I am getting rid of the hard copy of the book I have and i already returned the audio version to the library. It did serve its purpose, it burned some time while driving, it was not really deep so i didn't have to really concentrate , it was what i consider a beach read... a book you just don't care if you forget at the hotel when you check out, certainly not a book you would seek out at the lost and found. Lol"
no sympathy with any ofthe c haracters even one of the victm
"Hero" seems to be worried about clothes and appearance and somone eles dog more then anything.
His boss -you have to wonder how she got her job as she is clueless and the ending was unsatisfactory as they never really said what happned to all villains!!
Not even a book I would reccomnd to patricia cornwall fans!!
I normally keep books but will be giving this book away to charity!!"
"I was on vacation and looking for a good read, so I bought my first Patricia Cornwall mystery. I found the present tense somewhat offsetting, but I continued to read through to the end. I've got to say, the promotional blurb on the back cover promising "chilling suspense, rich characters, and trademark forensics that have made Patricia Cornwell an international phenomenon" were pretty much just "hype." I had difficulty resonating to any of the characters and I found the plotting very disappointing."
