I always read Patricia Cornwell's books as soon as they are released, but I found this one not as good as some of her older books. The addition of Lucy and her personal problems into her stories has taken away from the actual mystery/thriller facet of her books that I love the most. I adore Marino and I'm glad he's still with her, but after her departure from Richmond, I've never liked her books as well. This one kept me reading, as they all do, but not like her first books in this series. I just could hardly put those down.
