 Rating:  - Cornwell Phoned This One InThis book is just awful. Did Cornwell write this on her Blackberry? It just seems like something written for the text-messaging crowd. Her prose is anemic, her characters rehashed from the Scarpetta series, the story line is flat, and the sharp, detailed writing she has given us in the past is as stale as yesterday's Starbucks. And how many cops ride Ducati motorcycles? Honestly... Cornwell phoned this one in. She's just writing for retirement money now. Rating: - Difficult to even attemptThankfully this was given to me, I am glad I did not bother with spending money on this. I agree that one star is maybe too much. I fell in love with Ms. Cornwell years ago and have been an avid reader since. Scarpetta was a character I enjoyed until the last few books which have been less than her best. I tried Southern Cross, did not finish it, forced my way through At Risk, but find myself once again not being able to finish The Front. Maybe the strain of bringing out too many books in too ... Read More Rating:  - Not enough is too muchThe Front is ostensibly about a coalition formed by local Boston area police departments to reduce dependence on the Massachusetts State Police. It opens with the set up for a cold case investigation by the DA, Monique Lamont. She assigns her top investigator, Win Garano, to work with a local detective, a woman nicknamed "Stump", who runs The Fronts mobile crime lab. These three characters are adequately delineated, although they do come across as types. So far, so good. Regrettably, ... Read More Rating: - ShuffleI was happy to see a couple of new books by Cornwell that I had not read. Even though these were not of the Scarpetta series, which is a favorite of mine, Cornwell's books are usually worth a read. Not this one. The writing seemed to shuffle along, full of depressing, inconsequential scenes with a few fuzzy, antisocial characters. I almost abandoned it several times. I actually flipped to the front to see if I had the wrong author. In my Kindle version, many of the words beginning with the letter ... Read More Rating: - I'll waste as little time ......on this review as she did writing this "book". I didn't think my opinion of Cornwell's latest literary efforts could sink any lower...they have. Please don't bother buying this, and send her a message that when she wants to get serious again about writing, send us all a free copy of her next book (and an apology) to compensate for the money wasted on her last few efforts.
