Cornwell used to write interesting stories. But about 10 novels ago, she decided to expand her character's personalities. Which would be fine, except she can't seem to shut up about it. I get it that Scarpetta's partner (Marino) is a unreliable slob who's in love with her. I also understand her husband (Benton) is an unreliable narcissistic jerk. And I know her daughter (Lucy) is unreliable, gay and has a death wish. How do I know these things? Because Cornwell won't shut up about it. Every novel lately, you'll get those messages in the first 10 pages. And then throughout the book, again and again. No unreliability there, I assure you. Waste of paper.
