Book Review of Port Mortuary (Kay Scarpetta, Bk 18)

Port Mortuary (Kay Scarpetta, Bk 18)
reviewed on + 3 more book reviews


Although I wouldn't miss a Scarpetta story, I had to make myself finish this one. I've read the other reviews and, even though I agree that this novel isn't up to par, I disagree with the reason. There wasn't much substance to the story. It took over 100 pages for Kay to even get home to start on the mystery at hand, and no, there was not much in the way of character interaction. Our favorite characters were all in play, but much was Kay thinking about her life repeatedly, the same issues and thought processes chapter after chapter.

All that being said, I wouldn't have wanted to miss this part of the Scarpetta saga, but it was pretty boring.
