“When it comes to the forensic sciences, nobody can touch Cornwell.”—The New York Times Book Review“Cornwell has created a character so real, so compelling, so driven that this reader has to remind herself regularly that Scarpetta is just a product of an author’s imagination.”—USA Today“Scarpetta is one of the most believable characters in crime fiction.”—The Vancouver Sun
a good try at getting back to good Scarpetta books, worth a look to old fans Concord Hill Unlike other readers, I did not find the book boring at all. I guess TV programs like CSI here, there, & everywhere have made this type of mystery too slow for some folks. What I did like about the book is a return to somewhat normal relationships & personalities for the regular cast. Kay's insecurities & the food are back, but Kay is not overly neurotic as in the last several books. Benton is a little flat, but is coming back as husband/FBI profiler. Marino is back to being a friend, rough & grouchy, but protective & part of the family. Lucy is way less psycho & seems to have regressed to the littl. "booooooring" according to Antiques Fan. the first novels in this series were interesting and fairly plausible. This latest one has very little plot and is overloaded with office politics as well as vast amounts of dull and mawkish personal musings attrubuted to the title character. One wonders why in every novel Scarpetta is about to get fired the BIG THREAT ad by the end of the book ends up wishing that it would happen and put us all character and author and reaading public out of our shared musery.no more of these for me even scrubbing out the barbequeue would be more interesting. tc said red mist. I am a fan of Cornwell but this book was a disappoinment. Way too much rambling and not enough action. The plot was interesting but I found my self skipping over the story just get to the end. This is not a page turner by any stretch. The way her husband and neice are treated - like strangers that were in the way - did not sit well. Something was missing in this book.
