A review by nickynl
The Last Precinct by Patricia Cornwell
2.0
After the sudden ending of the previous book, this one just carries on. There are way too many subplots and the paranoia that Scarpetta feels seems to come from the writer....there just doesn't seem to be a clear direction.
The chronology doesn't add up anymore, Scarpetta is aging backwards...it happens with plenty of characters, but since the cast of recurring supporting characters is steady (she seems to only be 10 - 15 years older than her niece, while it was more like 25-30 in the first book) it is annoying to me.
The crimes in this book are outrageous and unbelievable and while we are supposed to get more insight and sympathy for Scarpetta, she just starts to gtrate on your nerves.
Again, I will keep reading the series, because I know it gets better. However, new readers should avoid this one in my opinion.
