 Great Summer read July 1, 2008
i was lucky enought to be forwarded this book by the Little, Brown Book Group, and 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 really enjoyed it, and, being a new mum, i thought the smaller, 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 and 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 and read it from cover to cover, because you won't put it down! she is such a brill writer, and i really hope she writes some more books with these charactors, ( Win Garano, ~Monique Lamont, nana ,Stump, Raggedy Ann, Ect, Ect)
hope this helps, and when the next of these books comes out, i will be the first to go out and buy it and free up of of my afternoons, i just suggest that you do the same!
Happy reading!
 The front June 22, 2008
Cornwell has returned to her formula with avengeance, Wyn Garano is the masculine eqivalent to Scapettas tenacious enquiring mind but has typical male approach to life with women and wine.
The story line makes you want to sit and read it in one fell swoop as the plot thickens you avidly read to see the outcome. The dissapointment was perhaps it ended too quickly and certain lines of enquiry were left unanswered. Cornwell has the ability to lead you through the story and let you feel the frustrations and fears of the characters. The plot is believable with the reality of power and corruptness of policiticans.
An enjoyable return to Cornwell creating mysteries of a new character that will meet new challenges- can,t wait for the next thrilling plot.
 not so good June 20, 2008
Was looking forward to reading this but very disappointed. Glad only reserved it from the libray. Have read all previous books and agree with a lot of reviwers, that her writing isn't as good as it used to be. Try Harlan Coban or Steve Hamilton instead

If you want a very boring read, buy this book. Patricia Cornwell is trading on past glory.
A laid back summer read, without the Scarpetta gory bits June 19, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I eagerly awaited my copy of Patricia Cornwall's latest offering "The Front". I am pleased to say that I was not disappointed.
"The Front" is an exceptionally good read, my advice is to settle down with at least an hour or two to spare, you will need the time as you are sucked in to what is a page turningly good read.
The story flows well, and is without much of the gory bits of the Scarpetta series. Right to the end, I am not ashamed to say I did not manage to work it out.
The story is littered with little references to Ms Cornwall's own interests. A dog, who what ever horror is going on around it, is okay and looked after. Snippets about the local area, and my personal favourite, a reference to Jack The Ripper, and Scotland Yard!
I devour Ms Cornwall's books, for the story, which is as always brilliant, plus the little extra pieces of information that make them a cut above the rest!
This one is not a Scarpetta, the character's are good, and I hope the next in the series will add flesh to the bones and develop them further. This is a more laid back summer read, I for one await the next in the series.
This is a cant put down book.
Enjoy!
