I cannot give Patricia Cornwell’s novel Book of the Dead [ISBN 976 0 7515 3405 4] any higher score than this as I did not get past chapter three and a half – and I’d already lost the will to live with the complexities built into the plot. Cornwell has had so much happening in each of her books that the need to put even more complications and bizarre personal happenings gets greater each time. I skipped along to find out what happened and still didn’t have a clue when I knew who did it.

Kay Scarpetta is advising the Italian police on the strange murder of an American Tennis star – and then she goes back to the states and other stuff happens; she gets annoyed with a famous TV Doctor who appears to be a rival, Benton (who gets stranger by the book) her niece Lucy (who always was OTT) and Marino (who is really of the wall this time). Not much is going for her but she appears to get there in the end.
