"The first Patricia Cornwell and I'm keen to read a more recent one of the Scarpetta series. This one has to be read within the context of the time when it was written, very early days of IT capability. I found the detail of some of that too much but that aside the story was fast paced and the characters mostly believable. I thought the ending was rather abrupt and the detail of the subway stuff a bit superfluous. The writing is tight and crisp, the forensic knowledge clearly superb. My only reservation is that I don't really like crime stories where the 'detective' or main character is the actual target or the main person accused of some crime and suspended from duty, which is why I want to read a more recent Scarpetta novel in which she will presumably solve a crime rather than be the focus of it."

    " I picked this 1st book up that ever read by this author for $3 on a whim while I was on vacation. I was unexpectedly hooked from that point on! Scarpetta is a wonderful character that I'd love to know if she were real! "

    " Kay Scarpetta is called in on another Temple Gault case -- he is getting scarier and crazier and more threatening to Dr. Scarpetta and the ones she is close to. This victim is blad and there are no clues to who she is. Another page-turner. "

    " Number Six in the series. I think this might be where the series jumps the shark. "High tech climax" never goes well, I'm afraid. More red wine, more Lucy, more loser boyfriend. "

    " This was my favorite Kay Scarpetta book....not sure why, but I guess because a lot of the spotlight was lifted off of Scarpetta and focused more on the vicitm. I get tired of Scarpetta always being attacked by the killers or in some kind of trouble. I heard at one point this was going to be made into a movie. I used to envision certain actors as the characters: I always thought of Suzan Sarandon as Scarpetta and John Goodman as Marino :) "

    " I liked this book well enough. I'm guessing it follows on from another book becuase at the start it talks about the characters like the reader should know who they are. Found Kay to be quiet annoying at times, when she wouldn't just do what she was told. They were only trying to protect her. Ending seemed a bit rushed but it wouldn't put me off reading another book by Patrica Cornwell. "
