Helpful Score: 2

Well, it's not as awful as "Predator" but it's still not as good as her early Scarpetta novels like "Postmortem" or "Cause of Death." This book finds Kay Scarpetta in South Carolina trying to solve the murder of a tennis star, the victim of a serial killer. The usual suspects are all here: Lt. Pete Marino (the best sidekick ever); Lucy, her tortured genius niece; the stock evil woman character (it was Diane Bray in the werewolf novels, here it's Dr. Maroni, a television psychologist); and, of course, the serial killer villain, whose lineage provides the book's best plot twist.
