 Disappointing July 25, 2008
A. F. Prestwich (West Sussex)
Although very well written with some excellent exchanges between Win and Stump, this is a hugely disappointing book. Why?......it is no more than a short story put together under the guise of "her new novel". At 180 pages her publishers should be ashamed to put it out as such. Michael Connolly did as much last year with a short story put out as a novel; with these the story moves along brisky but the interaction and scene setting you want to draw you in is sadly missing.

A very disappointing read.
I felt that I had missed a great chunk of the story when I reached the end.
Can't believe this was written by the same author of the Scarpetta series.
A great shame.
 Another Good Read From Patricia Cornwell July 7, 2008
Sandra Blackstock (Crawford, Lanarkshire Scotland)
I have enjoyed reading all Patricia Cornwell's books it was hard to put them down you just want to keep reading to see what happens next, i was lucky enough to obtain an advance copy of The Front and found this to be a brilliant follow up from At Risk introdcing Win Garano was just as exciting as all Patricia's books with great twists and great new characters again i didnt want to put it down. Thanks Patricia for another great read.

I wish I had read the other reviews before i purchased my copy. This was possibly the worst book Cornwell has written. I was disappointed with her previous book but decided to risk this one. The plot was sketchy, if there was a plot at all and it skipped from character to character without fleshing any one of them out. The investigation by Win appeared to be superfluous to the story, and why were all the characters so abusive to each other yet at the same time appeared to convey a sexua overtone.Not one of the characters rung true and i couldn't understand why they would even bother to talk to each other, lete alone get into each others beds'. I would not recommend this book to anyone and wish Cornwell would go back to her best loved characters ie Scarletta, Lucy etc. I will hesitate to read any more Patricia Cornwell books in the future. What a shame.A good author gone bad.
Another disappointment... July 4, 2008

I have been an avid fan of Patricia Cornwell since book 1 but of late I have been extremely disappointed and this book was no exception. It lacks everything that made her earlier books so gripping and I can't help but think that maybe this was written for the money. The plot is poor, the characters feeble and well, I did read it through to the end but only because I had paid good money for. I think that in future I will be giving her books a wide berth.
