POINT OF ORIGIN by Patricia Cornwell ***

This is the book I missed between the last 2 I read. It's where Benton gets killed supposedly by Carrie, Lucy's first lover.

Some guy named Sparkes has his home and barn burnt to the ground. Ask me why. I. Do. Not. Know.  No explanation for all his race worthy horses to die of fire while screaming in a barn that was burning down Except for one young black male horse. What the fuck does this have to do with any freaking thing else in the book? NONSENSE. Red Herring? Idiotic writing?

So apparently Lucy and Kay Scarpetta are in a helicopter when another follows them, this is at the end of the book. Supposedly the white copter had been seen elsewhere and it was believed that a guy named Newton & Carrie were in it. NOT PROVEN.

So the end was somewhat quickly dealt with, in a hurry and not much information forthcoming.
Didn't really appeal to me for the above reasons. Esp. the dead horses. WTF is that all about?
