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

Port Mortuary (Kay Scarpetta, Bk 18)
reviewed on + 70 more book reviews


I have been a huge Kay Scarpetta fan since her first book, but this one was very difficult to get through - until about two-thirds of the way in. There is just way too much technical jargon - way too many descriptions and not enough character interaction.

There is way too much stress between the characters and Kay didn't seem to really like anyone during this storyline, including her husband.

I have felt Patricia Cornwell's Kay Scarpetta series has been changing as she gets into the higher numbered books and I'm starting to wonder if I want to continue reading her ones. I don't feel entertained anymore.
