Patricia Cornwell is not willing, this is what must be said the author, who probably thinks it can afford some facilities to artificially lengthen the story without risking its reputation ... The pace sometimes lacks nervousness and sloppiness is then lose what some interest in an otherwise well-crafted story, like Patricia Cornwell knows imagine. It's a fact: now the authors of thrillers in general resort to this process - indeed the Americans are not the worst off in this regard -. Their books are gaining in thickness what they lose in dramatic effectiveness. Good for writers paid to the number of words in a manuscript layout, so as expensive as if they spent more time on making their opus; too bad for the players that can not actually find quite their account. Do not compare what can not be. Yet I am tempted to say, not displease some in, it is very difficult to keep the beginning to the end of a work the emphatic and explosive style, tortured to verbal trance that drives expression a James Ellroy, and "sticks" to the narrative content like music "glue" to the frame of a successful film. The ease with Patricia Cornwell was showing in the first episodes of the adventures of Scarpetta tends to dull sometimes.
