Books: Quantum - Why Patricia Cornwell`s Newest Opus Is Just A Foam Of Words

 (Drivebycuriosity) -  Patricia Cornwell belongs to the leading contemporary thriller writers. In the 1990s I read some of her books and I enjoyed them, but then she went off my radar because my interests turned more into science fiction, history and other genres. The title of her new book, Quantum, got my attention. The book is the start of a new series.

Unfortunately Quantum is just the overstretched introduction into a story and does not have much plot for its own, if any. Mrs. Cornwell created just a foam of words. On more than 300 pages almost nothing happens and the author gives just some clues which may be followed up in the coming books or not. There are too many paragraphs which are not connected with each other. What was Mrs. Cornwell smoking when she wrote this? For being just the teaser for an upcoming novel the book is way too long - and a waste of time.
