Yanina –
This book was long, redundant, like a song with no end. There were times when I felt the need to scream, yell in frustration, toss the book as the point was never made. The story line was slow, confusing and erratic. It reminded me of a time when I first started reading and thought how great books were, not caring how the plot rambled or made a point, not caring for significance, not caring if it wasn’t organized, like I was smarter then most because I could follow along, because I read the book. Because I read the book.
If you liked the way the upper portion was written, then you will like the book. If you thought that was complete trash, then you are not going to like the book. I listened to this on book on tape and I would not recommend this to anyone. I finished listening because I thought that at some point it would get better and then it just became a goal to get through it. I would say more then half of the book is a filler with no real contribution to the plot. The characters’ personal depressive drama overshadow the murder/ mystery plot, almost making it a side story instead of the main plot.
This was my first book that I have read by Patricia Cornwell and so am not a loyal fan who forgives easily that it is not a well written book.
