Even though this one was short, it was probably the best book in the series. The villain actually caught me by surprise and the ending didn't feel rushed like others have prior. Definitely looking forward to reading the next book after this one!

The last good book in the series, before it became centered on Lucy and the plots became more and more far fetched.

I have read the entire Scarpetta series and have loved them all. This one is no exception.

Kay Scarpetta investigates a case that resembles another that she's working on. But this one may have exposed her to small-pox.

Part of the Kay Scarpetta, Chief Medical Examiner of VA, series. Several of the CSI episodes on TV are based on this series. I say, start at the beginning... check patriciacornwell.com for a list of all the books in the series.

Her books are always good. Kay Scarpetta is a facinating character and the story is excellent as always.

A Kay Scarpetta mystery.

Patricia is the best author of this kind of book

A body is discovered in a Virginia landfill. The details--experct removal of head and limbs--mirror that of a case Dr. Kay Scarpetta has been investigating in Ireland. But for Scarpetta, the game has only just begun. The killer boldly contacts her via the Internet, signing off with the ominous screen name deadoc. As her investigation deepens, Scarpetta discovers that the victim in Virginia was exposed to a rare smallpox-like virus before she was killed, and that Scarpetta herself could be infected.

Now she knows she is up against a killer unlike any she has pursued before--a relentless psychopath with access to an incredibly sophisticated arsenal of deadly force. And with a very personal interest in seeing Kay Scarpetta suffer.

Patricia Cornwell is an amazing writer. The drags you in from the first page and keeps you wanting to find out whodunit. You'll have to read it all to find that out!

I'm not a huge fan of Patricia Cornwell. This was given to me as a gift. It has pretty good reviews on amazon.com.
