Book Review of Book of the Dead (Kay Scarpetta, Bk 15)

Book of the Dead (Kay Scarpetta, Bk 15)

This book is a disappointment. It was as if Cornwell had run out of intelligent, coherent conversations for Scarpetta and decided to write a book anyway. The conversations are choppy. The characters belong in a soap opera.

As others have pointed out, this book is completely misnamed. Scarpetta's "book of the dead" has absolutely nothing to do with the plot.
