As a long-time Cornwell fan I was totally disappointed with this novel. The last couple have of releases have not been quite up to her earlier standard- but by comparison to this they were classics.
This is lazily written with a limited plot.
The novel is all over the place making it hard to follow at times and seems to be padded out with huge amounts of irrelevant text, so obviously Patricia was struggling on the word-count front.
Sadly, either she has run out of ideas or is taking her readers for granted...

I found Dominion by Wayne Sharrocks to an engaging, modern and thought-provoking psychological thriller. Without giving too much of the story-line away , the tale focuses on the cat 'n' mouse game between a serial killer, on a mission for perceived vengeance and a world-weary detective (battling his own emotional demons), who vows to track him down. Although the scenario has been many times before this story has enough twists and turns to keep you turning the pages and a wry wit that prevents the tale from ever becoming too gory.
