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.

I've read most of her books. I've liked some more than others but find I want to know what is going on with the characters.

Great suspense if you like tracking medical examiners trying to figure out who did what. Cornwell continues her riveting mystery as to who is killing these young couples.
