Without a Trace
 *sigh*
I had no idea there was a new Patricia Cornwell novel released. What's worse, I didn't know it was another Scarpetta novel. I stumbled across it last night at my local Barnes & Noble, and of course, had to purchase it. I began reading it today at around 1pm. I finished it this evening at around 7:30pm. I must say that this newest installment of the Scarpetta series went over much better with me than the last one did. I just was not happy with Blow Fly for some reason--well, mostly because the ending just seemed...rushed in that last one. I actually really, really liked Trace. I felt while I was reading it that this was what a Scarpetta novel should be. This was like the Scarpetta of old. Back to the days of Postmortem and The Body Farm. With the last few books, Cornwell seemed to be getting a tad off track from what we Scarpetta-faithful had come to love and expect of our heroine. Things were becoming a bit too far-fetched. I mean, come on--a wolfman? Trace feels like everything is back where it belongs. Scarpetta and Marino, back on cases--and back in Virginia. Benton, still getting inside people's brains. Lucy, still making bad relationship decisions--despite her incredible intellect. I finished reading, and Cornwell has left me craving more. Aah yes. Just like old times. Good times. ¶ Ξ PDawg Composed at 8:51:00 PM |
