Predator | Patricia Cornwell

so-so

I was still excited to read this one, even tho the past couple were lackluster. after some meaningful Scarpetta/Marino interactions in the last book, their behavior distant &weird again. Lucy was a recovering alcoholic in the last 1, that storyline was abandoned &she had a random health scare that didn‘t get resolved & didn‘t make any sense out of her character arc. The crime itself was interesting but all the perspectives made the reveal slow AF

Helsky I remember loving the first books in the series. Then the writing style changed and I stopped reading them. 2mo

5feet.of.fury @Helsky agree. she changed the perspective starting at Blowfly & they have not been good since. The Last Precinct (right before it) was my favorite in the series. Before Blowfly I might have disagreed with some story choices or time jumps, but the books themselves were very cohesive… 2mo

Trace: Scarpetta | Patricia Cornwell

so-so

In most Kay books the crime solving tech &villains are the focus. This had meaningful character interactions (❤️sometimes there are 0) but she consistently leaves huge emotional conflicts off the page &there‘s a big 1 here.

I cannot believe she named the villain Edgar Allen Pogue. He has a (fake) history with the characters as if we would not remember an Edgar Allen Pogue. PC, you have to leave these breadcrumbs. TLP/Lucy‘s plot becomes asinine.

5feet.of.fury The ending also completely fizzled out. & some the endings have been worth whatever shenanigans went on in the middle. 3mo

Blow Fly | Patricia Cornwell

so-so

This was a weird installment (#12) the narration in prior books solely follows Scarpetta… this follows… well, everyone. Too many people. It cycled through each perspective so quickly that no real tension is built. Very odd. I hope she switches back.

All That Remains | Patricia Cornwell

so-so

Gave this series another go, but generally it doesn‘t wow me. Think other better series to focus on at the moment.

4th book finished for #20in4

TrishB I gave up this one a while ago. I think I got to about 12 or 13. 9mo

Andrew65 @TrishB I‘m starting to see why. 9mo

5feet.of.fury I‘m still going on them, but they are lacking in character development. 9mo

TheSpineView Bummer. Now you can focus on series you love. 9mo

Andrew65 @5feet.of.fury Pleased to see I‘m not alone in the thinking about the series. 9mo

Andrew65 @TheSpineView Yes, it does help whittle them down. 9mo

#20in4
not 100% sure what to think of Undertaking of Hart & Mercy yet, it‘s weird, it kind of throws you into a weird world with no preamble & miscommunication trope frustrates me. Pretty pleased with how far I made it into Shadowed Sun bc it is not at all light reading.
It‘s July 3 & I‘ve finished 4 books this month. Can‘t beat that 😂 Thank You @Andrew65

Andrew65 That‘s brilliant, well done and thanks for taking part 👏👏👏🙌🥳🍾🥂 9mo
