'Trace' by Patricia Cornwell, 2004
See here for plot outline and links to reviews.
I only read this because I enjoyed some of Kathy Reich's novels and thought they might be similar. Wrong.
I found this meandering and disjointed. The mixed perspective narrative was clumsy and awkward. Much was implied rather than made explicit which I found increasingly infuriating. The character read like cardboard cut outs and fail to be engaging or sympathetic.
Forensic science works better on TV for me I think!
