It took me over 50 pages to get into this book, and it still wasn't much of a page turner. Some parts grabbed me and got my attention, but it never seemed to last long. Given the setting was the beginning development of the famous Body Farm, there was plenty of gory descriptions. In fact, I feel like there was an over abundance of unnecessary descriptions about nearby places such as the football stadium and how long it took to get there, and other lengthy bits about landscape, etc. I ended up doing a good bit of scanning. Also, if you're like me and have a phobia of snakes, you won't like the couple of scenes where one is involved. A huge turn off for me, especially near the end with a very unnecessary death. I almost quit the book in the beginning when it described the snake eating a rabbit. I was totally repulsed! So, if you're an animal lover, but not a fan of snakes...skip it.
I wasn't overly impressed with the characters, although I did like Jenny, the young artist that helped with sketches. The only other character that stood out was one of the "lucky" victims, Janelle.
