A review by deepwinterodd
The Last Precinct by Patricia Cornwell

2.0

Terrible family, terrible professional life, terrible serial killer -- just all around blah, even for wanting your brain to be quiet for a moment. Plus, I might be jaded, but a lot of the legal bits written for shock and outrage (

Spoiler

Oh! That nice woman who befriended Scarpetta is now prosecuting her! Oh! Her oldest friend is being subpoenaed! Oh! She thought she could trust the governor! (mini-spoiler: never trust the governor)

) come off as like, okay, when you're done being outraged, you may want to get yourself a good lawyer.

I think I'm done with this series.

ETA: And I am livid about Mr. Peanut.
