From Potter's Field by Patricia Cornwell

1.0

Would have given this one 0 or negative stars, I am so done with this series. I had issues with the last book but decided to give this one a try to see if it got better or went somewhat back to the goodness of the previous books, it was worse. None of the characters are likable anymore not a single one, I would have let the bad guy kill them all in a heartbeat by the time I was half way through this book! Again the title was poorly picked and had almost nothing to do with the story except for maybe a total of 5 or 6 sentences, if this was a suggestion or choice of the editor fire them. The situations for the characters in this book are truly unbelievable. I read these books to get away, chill the mind for the stress of the day to day, not go brain dead or presume I have no brain at all. If I were Kay's boss I would definitely fire her. She does everything but her job in this book she's so busy trying to do everyone else's. She's annoying, whiny, judgmental and hypocritical throughout, a pure narcissist who has the common sense and survival instincts of a gnat and should be swathed away like one for her behavior and actions. Lucy wasn't much better (they were consistent with her age here at least as opposed to the last book). Benton was so flat and emotionless he could have been a robot (he's still not giving a shit about being with his wife one night and sleeping/cheating with Kay the next). Marion is now a shit heap dump of almost all the cliches an offensive shit heel can be, the worst of all prejudices combined. I won't be reading anymore from this series and if Cornwell's other books are like the last two in this series I won't be reading anymore of her books period.
