A review by celtic_oracle
The Last Precinct by Patricia Cornwell

2.0

Disappointing in many ways. Perhaps some of my issues are because I'm reading the series all at once, rather than one book a year, as I would have if I was reading them at the time they came out. Maybe I would have been less likely to notice the shift in telling the story in past tense in all the other books to present tense in his book, which took me a long time to get used to. Maybe I wouldn't have noticed continuity error between books, like Rocky Marino's real first name, which changed between books.

But then again, there were continuity errors within this book too, which I won't bother getting into here. Basically, I found this book to be more of a slog to get through, with much fewer can't-put-it-down moments.

I did find it interesting how Cornwell tied previous books together - enough that I'm willing to give the next book a chance to see if she can draw me back in.
