Pros: Captivating, interesting, vividly written. Cons: Almost painful character conflicts in the storyline.
Hornet’s Nest is yet another one of Patricia Cornwell’s wonderfully written crime fiction mysteries. This book is from a few years ago, published in 1996, and has a sequel, Southern Cross.
Pros: Strong female lead, interesting characters Cons: Story moves rather slowly
Though I didn't like this book as well as Patricia Cornwell's Kay Scarpetta series, it was still an interesting read. It is more a character study, than it is an action-packed plot. The story takes place in Charlotte, North Carolina. The title comes...
Pros: None that I can see Cons: Too many characters, too many story lines, not pulled together, bad ending
Patricia Cornwell is one of my favorite authors. I have tried to read everything she has written and loved all of it. I have followed the thrilling cases of her ongoing character, Dr. Kay Scarpetta who is present in most of her novels that I have read...
Unlike the majority of Patricia Cornwell books that we all know and love, this book is not about Kay Scarpetta. Instead Cornwell takes us on a journey to meet the police department of Charlotte, North Carolina. This...
Pros: Interesting crimes being investigated Cons: Slow moving story, Weakly developed characters, Less forensic details than usual in a Cornwell novel
Hornet’s Nest is Patricia Cornwell’s attempt to move away from her best selling novels involving Dr. Kay Scarpetta and introduce new characters, settings, and plots. Instead of sticking with the winning combination of her earlier books, she develops a...
Pros: None Cons: Miserable in comparison to other books by Cornwell - one of her worst!
Hornet's Nest was a MAJOR disappointment. Patricia Cornwell normally writes thoughtful well-crafted novels. The plots are intriguing and the characters well rounded and interesting.
While her novels normally leave you anxiously waiting for...
Pros: There are no pros to this book Cons: bad plot, bad characters, little to hold your inerest
basykes1 states that she hadn't quite finished the book. I finished the book and I'm sorry I did. There was no tension, little suspense, no real character development and for a gay author to create such a stereotypical negative gay scenario as the...
Pros: Patricia Cornwell's writing skill! Cons: Not many ... just a few too many subplots and seemingly unnecessary characters.
I've been a fan of Patricia Cornwell's writing for years, and I admire the Coroner Kay Scarpetta character she has used in her many previous mystery novels. Having said that, I was wary of reading a Cornwell book that doesn't have a Scarpetta theme. I...
Pros: Each sub plot is fairly interesting Cons: Way too many sub plots
The first disappointment I had was realizing the book doesn't revolve around Kay Scarpetta, the heroine of Cornwell's other novels. I read Cornwell novels in between books of higher literary merit, or when I'm too depressed to do anything but check out...
No Kay Scarpetta here, but Hornet's Nest still kept me on the edge of my seat. It was more than just another murder mystery. This time it was a full-fledged investigation of a police department in Charlotte. This is a novel idea for Cornwell,...
Pros: mildly interesting Cons: not up to Cornwell's standards
I love Patricia Cornwell. I was introduced to her Kay Scarpetta books about a year ago and have been devouring them. I didn't realize Hornet's Nest was not a Kay Scarpetta until after I'd started it. Now I'm all for authors branching out and don't...
Pros: Mindless summer reading. Cons: Miserable, bloody and unbelievable trash.
It doesn't happen very often that I get so bored and confused with a book, that it took me weeks to plow through. My stubbornness won out, and I finally made it to the end. The End should have happened in the middle of the book. It is one of the most...
