This was Cornwell's worst book.
Ok, what's up, Patricia? Are you leaving room for yet another sequel...haven't you found out yet that your sequels usually fail. I was totally disappointed in this book altogether. I suppose killing Benton off was a way in which to introduce another lover (perhaps Lucy's new boss)? Perhaps Kay and Marino should just hook up and get it over with. In between making love, Kay could nag him to death. Cornwell's first few books were truly her best. We, as her fans, can only hope she goes back to that style of writing.
