I had a difficult time staying with in this book, but was determined to finish it. I was thinking it would get better. I think Patricia should keep to her Kay Scarpetta series.

Something different for Ms. Cornwell. I didn't feel the intensity of her Scarpetta books, but was a mildly entertaining, humorous story. It's not up to the stature of Hiaasen, but leans in that direction. But then, Hiaasen writes about Florida, not North Carolina and since I live in Florida, I can tell you, he's "write on".

I think someone should get some samples of her tobacco and submit them to the lab.

I read this so long ago, that I've forgotten what
it's about. I DO REMEMBER THAT I DID NOT LIKE IT VERY MUCH!!!
It's not Kay Scarpetta, and I like reading books with her.

This is not the typical Cornwell book but it was very humorous and good reading!

This was truly one of the worst books I have ever tried t read! I pushed myself thru about 3/4 of it and just couldn't finish. I am a fan of Patricia Cornwell's Scarpetta series but this is a joke. Don't waste your time or money.

I love Cornwell, but hated this book. Good for her for trying something new, but this direction just didn't work. Some of the book is written from the perspective of animals, from a dog to a trout. It just didn't work for me. Where is Scarpetta when you need her??

As tightly knit as her other works are, this one wandered all over the place - unable to make up its' mind whether to be comic, mysterious, thrilling. Frankly, it was so loose, for me, it was none of the above. BUT I really DO love all her Kay Scarpetta books!

I enjoyed this book. It was very quirky and more light hearted than most Patricia Cornwell's books. I also liked the local history that was included in the story.

Judy Hammer, newly installed as the superintendent of Virginia State Police, and Andy Brazil, state trooper and Hammer's right-hand confidant, find themselves at their wits' end as they try to protect the public from the politicians and vice versa in this pitch-perfect, darkly comic romp.

Most unusual Cornwell mystery novel. Very, very funny; real tongue in cheek stuff.

The Andy Brazil books by Patricia Cornwell, as a whole, haven't had the best reviews. I do really like Patricia's style of writing though, and even though this was quite different from the Scarpetta series, I did enjoy the read. It includes an alternate version of the infamous pirate Anne Bonny, which by chance I ended up watching the more accepted version on a PBS show the day after finishing this book. All in all a decent read.
