Book Reviews of Black Notice (Kay Scarpetta, Bk 10)

Just another great book in the Scarpetta series. This would be #10 and going strong. The books has plot twists and keeps you guessing at who is the real killer until close to the end.

Another Kay Scarpetta goodie. Read it, fans. Or: read it and become a fan!

Another great Kay Scarpetta novel. Love them all.

Kay Scarpetta story about a corpse discovered sealed in a container ship and the international intrigue that follows its discovery.

Great characters and dialogue. Mostly intriguing, i found this book to be among her best. a great read.

A very good Cronwell Kay Scarpetta novel. A cargo ship arrives with a locked container holding the remains of a stowaway.

This book is one of the Dr. Scarpetta series. I love all of these books and I am sure you will too!

Another winner by Patricia Cornwell.

Another great read from Patricia Cornwell!

typical cornwell

Another Patricia Cornwell novel that had me hooked from the get go. So much incredible detail that sometimes you might have to put it down for a break back into reality. Then you realize sadly, that THIS is some people's unfortunate reality. I appreciate the "truth" in her stories.

I love the Scarpetta series.

I love crime mysteries, particularly forensics. But so few novels incorporate REAL forensic science. (Don't even get me started on the lame forensic TV shows!!) I love Patricia Cornwell's books because the science is real, yet the plots creep me out & keep me turning the pages. I highly suggest reading her books chronologically.

I always enjoy Patricia Cornwell's books. I loved the story line of this book and I know you will too. Just the right amount of suspence with just the right amount of romance. Enjoy!!!

Another great book. Very intriguing a few twists.

excellent as always

For the most part, this book is a page turner and I can't believe Scarpetta took so long in realizing that the killer had hypertrichosis after finding out the long hairs were human. I had to restrain myself from flipping to the end to take a peak to see if I was right, which was a first in the series. However, I'm glad I didn't, because the same old redundant, annoying ending happens in the book. It ends too fast and the common sense is completely non-existent.

I also found the author's views (through Scarpetta) of why people get tattoos to be ridiculous and innacurate. As well as her opinion of pitbull terriers. I was really disappointed in the misinformation preached in this book about the species, making them seem to be child-killers.

And then there's Lucy. She's got to be the most annoying character in the book, hands down. How many times is she going to keep having an affair with a co-worker before her unprofessional attitude catches up with her? Of course the same could be said for her aunt, so maybe she really does take after Kay.

Overall, it's unbelievable how I am so hooked on a series even though I keep finding so many flaws in it. I guess it's like watching Jerry Springer or something. You don't want to waste your time, but you can't help it.

Kay is at it again. Loved the book.

Patricia Cornwells Kay Scarpetta is a character who becomes addicting. Smart, Funny, brave, and tough she is a character who sticks with you, and you will find yourself wanting to read the whole series. Chapters are on the shorter side so the book is easier to digest.

This story takes place on a ship where a decomposed body of a stowaway is found. Great plot and lots to uncover before the crime is solved. A great read.

Not as good as her earlier books.

You just have to love a Cornwell book.

I've never got around to reading it because it is not my type of book. I just can't read mystery/murder.

Good book!
