At Risk by Patricia Cornwell (2006, Unabridged, Compact Disc)

Where did the old Patricia Cornwell go? I have read everything she's written, her 1st 4 novels are classics, but her last 3 have really been on the poorly written side. I couldn't even finish Predator and this one couldn't even keep my attention while I was a passenger on a flight from Georgia to California, I wanted to get off the plane and get a different book. I felt like I was stuck with these characters for five hours of boring drivel. Please write like the earlier novels. I am going to start checking her books out in the library first before commiting to buy them.

I have listened to every book that Patricia Cornwell has written, but I think this will be the last. When Kay Scarpetta was retired the books became flat and uninteresting. No more, but thanks for the memories. It may be time to bring your star out of retirement.

This book was flat. You keep waiting for the "moment" to happen, and it doesn't. It had the makings of a TV series but not a page turning book.

Patricia really dropped the ball on this one. Very disappointing. The book was really boring, did not have a good ending...Ebay has asked me to review this and I have but now they are requiring no less than 100 characters...there think I did it

I usually love this author, but didn't really enjoy this one. Very hard to get into. Struggled through to the end and was disappointed with it, too.

Every few years Patricia Cornwell puts a book out that makes you scratch your head, and wonder "What the @#@$ was she thinking?!" She as tried this with "Southern Cross" and another one. She puts so much thought and energy into her Kay Scarpetta novels, and yet it seems like "At Risk" was just thrown out there to put something new on the shelves. I am still a huge fan of Patricia Cornwell, and always will be, but this one left me lukewarm.

The book was too short to fit the story in, so many details seem jumbled. I prefer her Kay Scarpetta novels as they are more detailed and have a better story line.

It's something new from Patricia Cornwell other than her great but were getting very old Dr. Scarpetta series. It laid a good foundation of a new character that I would like to read more about. So many ways that she can go and it's all new and exciting.

I NEVER RECEIVED IT. THE SELLER MARKED IT REFUNDED, BUT ONLY SENT ME 2.?? OUT OF 9.24 DON'T KNOW WHY AND UNABLE TO NOTIFY E-BA CUSE SINCE HE CANCELLED IT IS NO LONGER ON FILE AS A REFERENCE. HE REFUSES TO REFUND BALANCE OR EXPLAIN WHY.

This was an ok book - it is very short and I think if it had been explored a little deeper the story would have been a lot better. All in all though it accomplishes what I hope to get from an audiobook - nothing too deep but still an entertaining day.

Cornwell introduces a new charactter that I liked very much. I enjoy her writing. Looking forward to reading more books with this new character. A bok
from her assures a 99.9% good read.

TRANSACTION WAS GREAT..FAST AND WELL PACKAGED. I AM HAVING TROUBLE WITH MY EYES, SO THIS IS THE WAY I AM KEEPING UP WITH THE LATEST BOOKS OUT. I USE THEM IN MY CAR AND AT HOME. THEY ARE LESS EXPENSIVE ON EBAY THAN NEW. AND I WANT THE LATEST, AND THE MOST ENTERTAINING.

The story was decent, but not up to par with some of Cornwell's other work such as her earlier Kay Scarpetta novels. The reader was difficult to listen to. Her voice was sharp and staccato, and she attempted to change her voice to suit the characters, which in her case did not work for me. She wasn't convincing as a male, and her accents failed. She detracted from the story itself.
Cornwell is one of my favorite quick read authors, and I enjoy her forensic approach. This was a decent way to spend a few hours on the road, but I wouldn't recommend the CD because of the reader.

I was disappointed when I discovered that At Risk by Patricia Cornwell was only 4 CD's in length...unabridged. I have read/listened to every one of her works (usually 8 to 12 discs, unabridged) and longed for the next one. She has a remarkable writing style and so many strong characters that you have a hard time letting them go, be it Scarpetta or Marino or Andy Brazil! This was not the case in At Risk...oh the wonderful style is there but that's about it. The story was flat and none of the characters were memorable. I felt that it was in no way up to the standard that she has gotten us used to experiencing. Maybe it was a blessing that it WAS only 4 CD's.

I really did like my audio book "At Risk". I bought through Ebay because it was priced below the what the retail stores were selling it for. Ebay is a good resource for great prices on audio books.

I have been listening to stories by Patricia Cornwell for several years now. I have never been disappointed by them yet. This story has been another in a line of excellent writings by Patricia.

This book was not of my liking,it had a poor story line. I listen to a lot of audio books while I drive to work at night, This book couldn't keep my intest...Almost fell a sleep once or twice.

I buy cds to listen to while driving. very pleased. If you travel alot this keeps you awake. Much better than the radio.

I enjoyed the plot and the new characters, however, I miss Kay Scarpetta. Not as gripping as the Scarpetta series but 100 times better then "Isle of Dogs".

I liked this book. it was the traditional cornwell style with lots of suspense.
It was not part of the Scarpeta series, but equally as well written.

Triditional Cornwell. The end was not expected. Bought this book because of the Author!!! Will buy any of her new books.

This is one in a series of 14 audiobooks about Kay Scarpetta, Medical Examiner in Virginia. The author, Patricia Cornwell, is a master at murder mysteries that are technically accurate, believable and suspenseful to the end. I am a recently retired Police Lt. myself, and am picky about the believability of many of the murder mysteries out there. You will love this series!!!

I enjoy this author, and am happy to have this book on cd. No problems with this order, great, thanks
