Publisher's summary

Newly installed superintendent of the Virginia State Police, Judy Hammer, and her right hand and confidant, Andy Brazil, are at their wits' end trying to protect the public from the politicians - and vice versa.

And amid the mayhem, an island off the coast of Virginia declares UDI, claiming its independence lies in the history of America's first settlers - those who set sail from London's Isle of Dogs in 1607.

Woo Woo, Excellent

I might just get spontinous Comsumption. The third time listening was as funny as the first. Karen White was spot on, we should all have backwards talk. Why should the politicians have all the fun?

Not Worth an Audible Credit

This is the second in the series and it is not as good as the first, Hornet's Nest. Once again, the characters were not well developed, plot line was weak, and the storylines for the situations and characters were chaotic and at time ridiculous. Karen White did a very good job narrating - she was the best part of an otherwise bad book.

Not as good as the second book on the series

Got rid of Virginia West with no explanation. Trooper truth essays would have had the same affect if they were cut in half. Story was too predictable and a little too goofy for my liking.

Patricia goes to the dogs.

ok. this was the worst Patricia Cornwell ever! The story was stupid and it sounded like something written by a junior high student. HARD TO FINISH. I love Patricia Cornwell usually. And I usually enjoy her medical, forensic and computer info, as well as her characters Marino, Lucy and Kay. Hopefully they will return.

Silly, trite and not Cornwell's best

If you want a silly story with mediocre narration, this is it. Story line rambles and Karen White's character accents are poor at best.

Humorous in parts, tedious in others

Enjoyed the book overall. parts were pretty funny, but it dragged in places. I would recommend it to select friends.

The deplorable story

I enjoyed the first two quirky books and was looking forward to the third. What happened? No more thank you. I couldn’t finish and will request a refund.

It just seemed ridiculous. I had a hard time finishing it.

Normally, her books seem more realistic. This one seemed more like a fantasy… I doubt cops let young people, especially one considered a “pirate“ work with them again book seem stupid with the animals talking did not like that

Not a good product

Sadly disappointed with this story. Not the usual Scarlett’s novel. The only thing humorous was the author’s misuse of the islanders speech patterns which I became interested in over the several years I lived in the area.

Love Patrica!

Cornwell books typically aren't funny. However, this one was that some of the characters' names made me laugh out loud, Windy Breeze, Major Trader. etc. I am used to Cornwell's writing being more serious. This book was a step in the wrong direction writing wise, I get the sometimes we all have to step out of our comfort zones. Still love her and her books.
