This book has caused me to stop reading the series. It was the final straw that broke the camel's back in an otherwise mediocre and overly-hyped series.

By page 82, my brain was screaming to my hand to start scraping my eyeballs out with a nearby nail clipper. Don't get me wrong, it's great that the author tries to humanize her lead character by having her talk about "feelings" and "personal issues" (don't get me started on how annoying Lucy is!), but it doesn't need to take up the first 100 pages of the book. I didn't sit down to read a forensic mystery/thriller so I could get in touch with my girly feelings. If I'd wanted to do that, there's other genres I could've picked up to suit that type of mood. This was the type of series that I started reading because I wanted to read about forensics and not about a lead character who is, for the most part, just annoying and having a "heart-to-heart" with her shrink while complaining about her life and how unfair it all is. (Trust us, we know that, that's why we're reading a book to get away from the boring "Days of Our Lives" stuff.) Call me cold and heartless, but I'm not generally feeling in touch with my feminine side when I'm in the mood for a good thriller.

So, sad to say, I did what I rarely do and just couldn't finish the book, though I made it past 100 pages and consider that enough reading to know I didn't like it anymore. My dislike of the lead character in general has over-ridden my interest in continuing on with the series. It's an interest, I should mention, that wasn't that great anyway, because I kept finding problems and plot-holes in most of the books that made me groan in annoyance. It's a bummer, too, because I still had 3 more books I had bought that are going from my TBR pile straight to my release pile. What a waste of money!

A Kay Scarpetta novel, excellent as always. In this novel Kay Scarpetta herself finds herself under suspicion and under criminal investigation

This one was really hard to put down. A continuation of Black Notice, it was quite intense.

I am a long time fan of Patricia Cornwell - The Last Precinct details the life of Dr. Kay Scarpetta, chief medical examiner of Virginia, as she is forced to make a decision about her career. This is one of the better books of the Kay Scarpetta series - the characters continue to develop, especially those of her niece Lucy and longtime "partner" in solving crime, Captain Pete Marino.

A bit slow starting off, but ends up being a really good read!

a charactor as strong as any popular fiction this book is about werewolf murders. not my type but good reading

Typical Kay Scarpetta novel but not my favorite.

Another Great Scarpetta story. From the inside cover....We enter The Last Precinct through the reverberating aftershocks of black Notice, inconceivable finding virginia's chief Medical examiner Kay Scarpetta an object of suspicion and criminal investigation. And the nightmare perpetuated on scarpetta's doorstep continues as she discovers that the so-called Werewolf murders may have extended to New York City and into the darkest corners of her past. When a formidable prosecutor, a female assistant district attorney from New York, is brought into the case, Carpetta must struggle to make what she knows to be the truth prevail against mounting and unnerving evidence to the contrary. Tested in every way, she turns inward to ask, Where do you go when there is nowhere left? The answer is the Last Princint. By the end of the novel, it is clear that Scarpetta's life can never be the same.
Woven through with extraordinary forensic detail, the larger-than-life presence of Scarpetta's neice Lucy and her colleague Captain Pete Morino,and a palpable sense of fear that keeps readers looking back-into the past for clues, and over their shoulders for the next enigmatic act of violence-the Last Precinct marks a new era for Kay Scarpetta and a triumphant achievement for Patricia Cornwell.

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.

Kay and her friends find themselves the target in this book. As always Patricia Cornwell has another great book that you should read.

Dr. Kay Scarpetta is at it again in this one. Scarpetta is one strong woman. She is always in the think of things, going beyond her duties as the medical examiner, she is detective too, the best one! Would any of these crimes be solved without her?
