Sorry Ms Cornwell, all your books I have read move along at a nice pace and are intriguing with the developing plot. I couldn't wait to finish this book. It was tedious and lacked Scarpetta's confidence. I felt like this is the beginning of the end for Kay (maybe it is?) To …more be fair I love your writing but this plot is so boring and there is nothing really 'sparking' between Benton and Kay. (less)
