| Isle of DoGs by Patricia Cornwell from Chris McDonough Guide Rating - *** The Bottom Line Andy Brazil and Superintendent Judy Hammer team up against confusion, corruption, crime, and the supernatural in Virginia. Dr. Kay Scarpetta, one of the author's serial characters, makes a brief appearance. This novel stands on its own as a great romp through the governor's mansion, highway robbery, and island mischief. Pros: � A wonderful giggle of a read; great fun Cons: � Some fans expected a Dr. Kay Scarpetta novel and were disappointed Description � Published by G. Putnam's Sons � 419 pages; softcover � ISBN: 0-399-14739-X Guide Review - Isle of DoGs by Patricia Cornwell This novel is a wonderful farce. It must be repeated that this is not a Dr. Kay Scarpetta novel, although Dr. Scarpetta does make a brief appearance. Patricia Cornwell has created an intricately plotted and thoroughly enjoyable farce, played by characters who take themselves so seriously that they are downright funny. �2004 About, Inc.
