" This is my first "Kay Scarpetta" book. I've heard good things & finally decided to pick one up. The author has a writing style that is different from anyone else I've read. It reads almost as if it's a case file... very un-flowery and sometimes abrupt. It took me a while to get used to it, but then, I really liked it. As far as the story goes, about 3/4 thru this book I became indifferent to whether or not I finished it. I'm glad I did. The best part of this book is not the murder mystery. It's the characters and their very complicated relationships to eachother. I wouldn't be in a hurry to pick up another of these, but I wouldn't be opposed to reading one either. "
