I like the character Dr. Kay Scarpetta in Patricia Cornwell's books. This particular one is about 4 couples who have disappeared,turned up dead and the Dr. solves it in her forensic lab.

"A HECKUVA GOOD THRILLER"

I really appreciate books where the main characters are not simply young, gorgeous, and up for sex anytime, anywhere. The Kay Scarpetta books are interesting, tightly woven stories that keep me reading until the last page. This one is no different. Dr. Scarpetta is after a killer who has already murdered four couples, and now he's taken another couple. She has to find him before he kills these last two. To add to the suspense, the young woman whose life is on the line is the daughter of a high-profile political figure. Patricia Cornwell has a proven track record, and this book is a very good read.

An oldie but goodie Kay Scarpetta mystery. Kay is up against a serial killer who targets young lovers and when the fifth pair is missing and the mother of the girl is a powerhouse recently named by the president, things get hairy. Good fast read with plenty of action.l

One of my favorite stories in the Scarpetta series, excellent story with lots of information, twists and turns and a great finish. You gotta read these if you love a great book.
