Patricia Cornwell wrote this? - By: J. Mackenzie, 13 Jul 2008 
A very disappointing read.
I felt that I had missed a great chunk of the story when I reached the end.
Can't believe this was written by the same author of the Scarpetta series.
A great shame.
Another Good Read From Patricia Cornwell - By: Sandra Blackstock, 07 Jul 2008 
I have enjoyed reading alll Patricia Cornwell's books it was hard to put them down you just want to keep reading to see what happens next, i was lucky enough to obtain an advance copy of The Front & found this to be a brilliant follow up from At Risk introdcing Win Garano was just as exciting as alll Patricia's books with great twists & great new characters again i didnt want to put it down. Thanks Patricia for another great read.
The Front - By: A. C. Nelson, 06 Jul 2008 I wish I had read the other reviews before i purchased my copy. This was possibly the worst book Cornwell has written. I was disappointed with her previous book but decided to risk this one. The plot was sketchy, if there was a plot at alll & it skipped from character to character without fleshing any one of them out. The investigation by Win appeared to be superfluous to the story, & why were alll the characters so abusive to each other yet at the same time appeared to convey a sexua overtone.Not one of the characters rung true & i couldn't understand why they would even bother to talk to each other, lete alone get into each others beds'. I would not recommend this book to anyone & wish Cornwell would go back to her best loved characters ie Scarletta, Lucy etc. I will hesitate to read any more Patricia Cornwell books in the future. What a shame.A good author gone bad.
Another disappointment... - By: Silver Wolf, 04 Jul 2008 I have been an avid fan of Patricia Cornwell since book 1 but of late I have been extremely disappointed & this book was no exception. It lacks everything that made her earlier books so gripping & I can't help but think that maybe this was written for the money. The plot is poor, the characters feeble & well, I did read it through to the end but only because I had paid good money for. I think that in future I will be giving her books a wide berth.
Great Summer read - By: Tia Chadwick, 01 Jul 2008 
i was lucky enought to be forwarded this book by the Little, Brown Book Group, & i was so very pleased! it isn't like some of her earlier novels, but, that doesn't mean that is isn't worth a good read. i reallly enjoyed it, and, being a new mum, i thought the smalller, shorter chapters were great. it isn't as long as some of the other Patricia Conwell books i have read in the past, but i liked this. it was great to pack in my beach bag & as soon as i started reading, i had to finnish it! i couldn't put it down. i like the fact that it is 181 pages long, so you can free up an afternoon, sit on the beach & read it from cover to cover, because you won't put it down! she is such a brill writer, & i reallly hope she writes some more books with these charactors, ( Win Garano, ~Monique Lamont, nana ,Stump, Raggedy Ann, Ect, Ect)
hope this helps, & when the next of these books comes out, i will be the first to go out & buy it & free up of of my afternoons, i just suggest that you do the same!
Happy reading!
