Advantages: Chilling, gripping and full of suspense

Disadvantages: none

Some people seem to have been quite disappointed with 'Black Notice' but all these people seem to have read all of Patricia's previous books. This is only the third of Patricia Cornwell's books which I have read. However, Black Notice is undoubtedly the best yet.

Cornwell has managed to describe every character, crime scene and situation with such great detail that you feel as if you are actually in the book. The plot is gripping the whole way through and even the deeply scientific parts keep you interested. Without trying to give too much away, the murderer seems so evil and horrendous it's as if he's from a fairy tale, but yet he still seems so real and completely possible. The book never becomes boring and is extremely hard to just put down and leave for very long. It combines so many excellent ideas, each one more shocking and brilliant than the one before, that I wonder how Cornwell thinks some of them up. The book keeps you guessing till the very end and every guess will be wrong so that when the mystery is finally solved it leaves you startled and amazed at how wrong you really were! I'm sure you'll enjoy this book, no matter what some people say, so what are you waiting for, read it!
