This book was great up until the end. The end was just absolute crap and sticks with the "formula" this author keeps using. She is continually killing off the bad guys with Scarpetta at the scene of the crime and it's just getting old. I mean really, how many times are serial killers just outright killed on the street instead of taken into custody? (And by a doctor no less?!?!) She tries to get all these facts into the books regarding forensics and crime and then makes an ending that is hurried and ridiculous. If the rest of the book weren't so well-written, I'd throw my hands up and quit reading this series. If the books continue to have such unoriginal endings, I probably will, because I expect authors to try some diversity in their storytelling instead of always having the villain killed by the heroine, who, in this story, is just a medical examiner. I mean really, how many M.E.s do we here about taking out bad guys like this one does? Good grief.

Creepy complications, combined with the downright macabre atmosphere of this Dr. Kay Scarpetta tale makes this book a frantic and , at times, suirreal thriller---A must read!!!!

A mystery featuring the medical examiner Dr. Kay Scarpetta. Full of twists and turns - reminiscent of shows like CSI and Criminal Minds.

This Scarpetta Book was one of my favorites (and I've read them all). She is very descriptive in this book in regards to the Potter's Field - which I found exciting. I couldn't put it down. I find that I respect her work ethic and her personality greatly. Awesome read!!!
