Book Review: Hornets Nest by Patricia Cornwell (Andy Brazil 1)

A step out of the Scarpetta comfort zone for Patricia Cornwell and into the world of Andy Brazil. A killer is on the loose and the perpetrator is painting the victims orange. Deputy Chief Virginia West is on the case and is forced to take a rookie reporter on the case with her in an effort by her boss to boost community relations. The reporter is Andy Brazil.

There are attempts to have humour in the books and to see a bit about West's personal life but it really does not come off. The book does not really reach the heights that Scarpetta can reach and this was not a great read and I read to complete reading all of the Patricia Cornwell. Maybe you can borrow a copy from the library or get a copy from a charity shop?

5/10 for me, didn't enjoy this much
