          <body><![CDATA[This is a poor (not to say pathetic) entry in the Scarpetta series, and has all the earmarks of being written by somebody from a fanfic group. It’s probably not, though, unless they’ve faithfully recreated all of Cornwell’s most irritating writerly affectations (the insistence on starting sent...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/80637588">more...</a>]]></body>

          <body><![CDATA[This is a strange, and strangely unsatisfying, addition to the so-called “Charlie Parker” series. (Actually, Parker barely appears in this novel.) Connolly dedicates this entry to a focus on Angel and Louis—and the result is a bit of a hack job. There’s so much 10-cent psychology here—so m...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/79733029">more...</a>]]></body>

          <body><![CDATA[Thanks, you! Talk about a Rorschach: I've disliked books for many, many different reasons, but I don't think I've ever disliked one because it was &quot;bleak&quot; or &quot;depressing.&quot; Perhaps this says something about my personality... Pulitzer-worthy, indeed, and not least because it's real writing w/real characters in a landscape of contemporary American fiction whose authors deserve spankings much more often than they deserve literary prizes.]]></body>
