I have tried and tried to get into Patricia Cornwell books and for the life of me I just can't. I've read the first 6 chapters of this one...and I may still try to finish it. The premise is a little far-fetched... the new chief of police and her right-hand-woman happen to overhear a racially motivated murder conspiracy when their cell phone signal bleeds into their conversation. It really made me laugh when another side-story line about a juvenile delinquent and his protege named the characters "Smoke" and "Weed." That was laugh out loud funny but not really in a good way. If you really like this author, you'll like this book. It's right in line with the way the Kay Scarpetta books are written.
