Never-Ending Dialog
I've read several Scarpetta books, but this is the last one. Filled with technical jargon not well explained and unexplained acronyms.The sets of dialogs between protagonists are not only much too long, but boring. The conversations between Kay and Lucy are stupid and both of them is unrealistically patient. Jaime and Lucy have all these issues which they've never discussed--not very true to life.I don't care about the dispute between Marino and Benton. And, speaking of Marino, we're supposed to believe that he's a brilliant detective with all of the nonsense and filth that comes out of his mouth. In personal conversation he says the dumbest things. Then suddenly a police conversation comes up and he's a genius.Cornwall tries to build up suspense for things that are not that important and downright disappointing.I think she's trying to get cerebral but failing miserably.
