More story and less blather needed
The books are getting very long winded. Far too many explanations of things that add nothing. The story takes way too long to get going.
All filler no killer
First time reading a Kay Scarpetta novel and it didn’t hit the mark for me. The plot was mediocre and there were long periods of filler content talking about pointless plot lines which rambled on longer than necessary. There were so many places the author could have gone deeper with this; Russian spies, Bigfoot, secret underground bases, ai, but instead chose to talk about mundane things. Then everything (literally every single thing mention throughout) gets wrapped up conveniently in the last few pages and they all ride off into the sunset.
