I have enjoyed reading Patricia Cornwell’s Scarpetta series for several years now. For some reason I liked this one a little better than the rest. Maybe because the “gang’s all here”, maybe because of the psychological aspects, the why we tick the way we tick. Human beings can and do have a breaking point. There is obviously a lot of homework done on this one, per usual, and with some mild twists and turns. The Douglas Burke character almost went to far, but then when she died I thought, “I would’ve liked to see her sent to Louisville, and then maybe at some point a psychological profile be completed”. But that’s just me.

Sometimes the flow of the verbal dialogue between characters and the main character’s thoughts and musings were difficult for me to separate.

Great read!

Was in The middle of it, and now cannot get it back.

I came to reading her books late in life. Started with a gift of an audio book, Trace. Ever since then I've been hooked. Should have guessed I would like her books, cause my Mom reads her books! Thanks Mom! avp

Loved it!

Thanks do much! Very interesting just like old times!

Rather hard to read. Words and sentences don't flow like her other books. Very difficult to follow or anticipate. Character building is shallow. Topic is predictable. I knew she would become a victim again.

Nice! Captivating reading

I have read every book starting back in 1993!!! Patricia Cornwell is the ONLY author I read and is hands down brilliant!!! I hope to meet her one day :)
