I like Patricia Cornwall books - I like them very much. BUT this book is BAD! (I suspect/hope that she didn't actually write it!).The plots partially revolves around a computer virus and EVERYTHING that's written about the virus is complete JUNK - it makes me wonder if she did any research for this book, or just made it all up on the spot. And it also makes me worried that the topics that I don't know so much about are also very badly researched! Let's hope that the next Kay Scarpetta book is back to the old Patricia Cornwall - if not, she's lost a fan here!
