2.0étoiles sur 5 A Bizarre Book That Makes Almost No Sense from the Beginning and Has Little Appeal, Mars 20 2007
This review is from: At Risk (Hardcover)

While Alexander McCall Smith has shown ample ability to write serialized novels (44 Scotland Street and Espresso Tales), At Risk by Patricia Cornwell proves that it's harder than it looks. My advice to Ms. Cornwell is to either give up turning her serials into novels or to stop writing serials altogether. This book is a mess. Most novels start with an interesting premise: At Risk doesn't even have that going for it.

If you feel you have to read At Risk, go to the library for a copy. You won't want to own this book: Trust me.

What's the best thing about At Risk? It's brief. Otherwise, I would have graded it at one star.

Winston (Win) Garano, a Massachusetts State Police investigator, has been in Tennessee taking a course at the National Forensics Academy. Why? He can't figure it out because the state already has a CSI unit, but his boss insisted. That same boss, District Attorney Monique Lamont, has just called him back on an emergency basis. After waiting dripping from the rain in the Harvard Faculty Club for 45 minutes, the DA finally arrives and tells Win to get cracking on solving a cold case in Tennessee using the crime lab in Massachusetts. Win can't believe his ears, and he's even more surprised to learn that the DA has already announced her plans in the press. What is she, some kind of moron? He knows she's politically ambitious, but this path offers little possibility of gain in that direction.

From there, everything begins to unravel, and explained mysteries pile up on top of curiosities. Win, the intelligent superman who can't pass a test, has to hold the whole ball of wax together while the heat is on with little assistance.

If that introduction intrigues you, go ahead and read the book. If you find it as weird an opening as I did, you would probably do well to stop right here.

I promise you the following if you do stop here: Kay Scarpetta and Pete Marino do not appear in the book; the forensic content is slim; and you won't remember any of these new characters a month from now.

2.0étoiles sur 5 Huh?, Nov. 11 2008
This review is from: At Risk (Mass Market Paperback)
I agree with the 1st poster. I only finished this book because it was short. I liken it to ripping off a band-aid. It was painful but quick. I tried hard to understand the plotline and hoped that it would all make sense in the end. Maybe it did to the Author. I actually stopped trying to put all the strings together in the last quarter of the book and just plowed through it, hoping a grand revelation would tie them all up. I couldn't be bothered to try and figure out what was happenning after awhile. The ending was very anti-climactic as well.
Luckily I got this book for free, but it still cost my time. I have another of her books and I might give her another chance after the bad taste of 'at risk' wanes.
