Summary: Very Disappointed by this Hammer/Brazil book.
Comment: Let me say, I am a new Cornwell reader. I have read a few of her Scarpetta Novels and the two previos books in this series. I was very disappointed by this entry.
It lacks what made the first two books of this series interesting, The intertwining of the three main characters. As a matter of fact, Deputy West is not in the book and is only mentioned once. Cornwell forces the humor in this book when in the previous two, the humor was more subtle. The minor characters are too over the top and in this book unbelieveable. And finally, while these books are not on the same level with the KS novels, the main thing that made them work for me is lacking. As I said before the interplay between the three main characters is missing.
If you do want to read the books of this "side" series, stay away from this one. Hornet's Nest and Southern Cross are better.

Summary: As painful to read as "Showgirls" was to watch
Comment: If it's supposed to be funny, shouldn't the reader laugh...at least once? I did cringe several times.
My favorite part is when flatulent ole Crimm is convinced that his wife Maude (described as 70-years-old and looking clown-like having had too many cosmetic procedures) is having affairs with hot, young men. See, he thinks she is hiding men in the linen closet but she's REALLY hiding trivets that she's buying over the internet (she's not supposed to be wasting money on trivets, you see). Ha! Ha! What a zany mix-up!
Am I really amused or is that just "backward talk?"
You decide.
I have a crooked table leg to fix...

Summary: What a dumb book.
Comment: I got the book-on-tape of this stinker from my library (I have a long commute to work). I'm glad I didn't pay money for this. What struck me first were the dumb character names...Unique and Windy Breeze...God...
Secondly, I am fairly certain that anyone that has brains enough to hold down a secretarial job is not going to screw up EVERY cliche'.
Dumb, dumb, dumb...oh so very dumb.
Pat really missed the ship with this one...
