Query: It's too bad....

It seems that Ms Cornwell needs to do one of two things: 1) see a shrink herself to delve into what drives her to heap such wrath upon the head of her lead character, or 2) just give up what was once an exceptionally well-written series and find something else to do.Bad doesn't describe this book. Sad? Mad? Definately depressing and unreadable. What a pity that Ms. Cornwell has such a wonderful opportunity to portray strong, mentally and physically healthy women characters and instead chooses to portray them as weak willed, maudlin individuals totally incapable of finding strength in their own intellect and sense of self. I won't even go into the story line, which is the worst of cheap camp, immature and silly for a writer who once showed such promise. Overall, a disappointing, and ultimately final, immersement on my part into the world of Scarpetta.
