Another spell-binding Kay Scarlett's novel. A fascinating plot and an intense ending. I would recommend all of Cornwell's books to anyone who enjoys a good psychological thriller, with sometimes gory murders, but always totally up to date forensic techniques. A great read!

Excellent read! More complex than many Scarpetta novels, with much supporting technical details. Also interspersed are very human observations and feelings which add to the atmosphere of deception Kay, Lucy, Benton and Marino encounter. Cornwell's characters are authentic and brilliant, and good detectives as well.

I was actually pretty disappointed in this book. The ending was a huge disappointment and lacked the wrap up. I still have no idea why any of the people were killed because it was really explained. Unless this is going to continue into the next book and explain why there is a huge build up for no reason. I love Patricia Cornwell books but this one was lacking.

First few pages were just awful--la la land snobful of food, description of ridiculous things. After being a writer so long you'd think she'd figure out what a good first paragraph is. I don't care that she uses agave nectar in an espresso. I almost gave up after 10 pages. However the story did pick up and she seemed to do better. I stuck with the complicated, mixed up plot that eventually melded into a story of sorts. Let's hear less food and drink and more of substantive mystery. I'm not invested in a Kay Scarpetta living in la la land with her nose up in the air.
