What is up with Patricia Cornwell? Her last book, "Blow Fly", sucked and this was not much better. Same problems as the last - huge unexplained plot holes, third person perspective, undeveloped minor characters. And what's worse, the last book ended with a cliff hanger that she ignored in this one and she just started a different track! Very Irritating! Her books used to be really tight with no holes, everything wrapped up nice and neat, and she always continued the story line until the bad guy was dead. After the last one I said I was done with this author, but then I got sick and needed something easy and diverting to read in bed, but it still pissed me off. I hope she gets back on her game because she's not even good enough for a sick day anymore.
