Patricia Cornwell is going downhill fast, or should I say she's gone downhill fast. Her early books were entertaining and well written, this book is full of poor grammar and written at such a juvenille level that I found it laugh out loud funny. I used to be a huge fan of the Scarpetta series, but with this latest book, I'm off the bandwagon. The good news that if you get it here, you won't have spent any money. I belive this book would be great for leveling a crooked table.

Forensic pathology is such a riveting type of book to read when it's done by Patricia Cornwell. She's a great storyteller and you learn something from each book.

With her knowledge of state-of-the-art forensics and investigative techniques that have made her America's most alluring crime writer, Patricia Cornwell once again brings to life a world both frightening and irresistibly compelling. This is good book

Not the best Patricia Cornwell, this is OK but a bit tired, I prefer the earlier ones , they have more life--if you'll pardon the pun.

Another in the Scarpetta series. Well-written, somewhat implausable that such a smart lady could also be so dumb, but the series is fascinating.

This will keep you turning pages to see how this mystery is solved, especially if you have read Book 11. I read it some time ago but the reminders broght the story back to me. Now I am going to have to find book 13 of the Kay Scarpetta series!

This book, in my opinion, is probably the best in the Kay Scarpetta series.

Thought I would be tired of Jean Baptiste Chandonne after the Last Precinct and almost didn't read this book but it is so well written with short chapters that lure you in and want you to keep reading that I read it faster than any of her other novels. Interesting character traits of all principals are developed. A must read for Scarpetta fans!

Very intriguing book and even though it wasn't one set in Richmond (where I lived many years and love to read about), I loved it. PC is the best!

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.
