Query: Where'd the ending go??

Thankfully I got this in PB at a used bookstore. I was getting seriously irritated when I only had a few pages to go in the book, thinking there wasn't enough time to wrap this up so there was going to be "To be continued......" on the last page. How wrong I was. It took about three paragraphs to bring the book to a highly unsatisfactory ending. Think there's a few CHAPTERS missing!On top of that, all the characters are made unlikeable in this book. The reactions of Marino and Scarpetta to various events are so out of character I almost wonder if someone else wrote this book. Obviously, if you're a diehard fan, 681 negative reviews won't dissuade you from buying it anyway. ;-) But hopefully you'll get a cheap copy and read with really low expectations.....maybe then you won't be as disappointed as I was.
