Tedious and unsatisfying
It seemed that Ms. Cornwell is just getting by on previous hits and is now concentrating on getting paid by the chapter. This book was over long, over wordy and dull. It took forever to get to the conclusion and was then too neatly tied up in a few short pages, as if the author was as tired of just rambling along as we were in the reading. Thank G-d for James Patterson and J.D. Robb.
