" I always liked the Scarpetta books from Patricia Cornwell, but as there are more and more of them, they become too similar. "

Meri | 2/4/2014
" This was definitely not my favorite book of Cornwell's. It took a long time for me to get into the story, and even at the end, I wasn't clear of certain plot points. And the character of Lucy really gets on my nerves. "

" I have read every book in this series. I left me with concern!! Major things happened to the regulars! I am both curious and afraid of what that will mean for the next book! "

" The reason why people fell in love with the Scarpetta series was the science and the solving of shocking homicides through the use of analysis and technology. Same premise as CSI. The characters are terrible, CONSTANTLY being unfairly treated by every external figure (press, colleagues, government, etc.) that the interactions are frustrating and annoying. 300 pages and unbelievably fantastical situations for a series that is supposed to be grounded in fact. I was genuine annoyed when the wrap up was barely explained and completely confusing. This is officially my last Scarpetta novel. She's jumped the shark. "

" The Scarpetta series used to be so good, what happened? Lucy and Marino went from quirky and interesting to annoying and unlikeable. Cornwell never should have moved Scarpetta from Virginia. "

" Loved the last few chapters of this as it all clicked together. "

Susan Morford | 6/13/2013
" Another painful read. This book took me months to finish and lost my interest for weeks at a time. "
-




Joy | 4/13/2013
" It kept me interested, but had so many stories intertwined it was hard to follow at times, and slightly predictable. "

Keith | 3/29/2013
" Book number 14 in the Kay Scarpetta series. Cornwell rocks!! "
-




Geoff Seymour | 3/4/2013
" Better than Trace or Blowfly, but still feels incredibly disjointed and the tensions between Marino, Wesley, Scarpetta and Lucy are growing tired, the characters no longer seem to grow, just slide further and further into their ruts... "
-




Miguel | 3/4/2013
" Finished it because I started. But now worth my time. Too many characters and not a fun read. "
-




Susan Robby | 2/28/2012
" Scarpetta is the protagonist that always solves her crime. She is good at cooking Italian food, too! This one is kinky and a bit weird. Good weird with plenty of twists and turns. You will not be sorry you read it and will not be able to put it down once you start. "

Siobhan Ann | 9/10/2010
" I found it hard to put down and did NOT figure out the ending before I read it :) "
-




Tami | 7/21/2008
" Love her books....good read, recommend it & all her books!!!! "
-




Patrick | 7/6/2008
" I've read better Scarpetta books. When it was finally moving along at a pretty pace, it seems like Cornwell was running out of paper steam or something, the ending just seemed thrown together! "
-




Marion | 11/28/2007
" not one of my favorite scarpetta books. i found it confusing at the beginning a bit tedious in the middle, and unbelievable at the end. "
-




Jennifer Baker | 10/6/2006
" I have been a Cornwell fan for years. But she clearly did not do her research well for this book. She referred to what would have been Marshall Fields (at the time) as Macy's! "
-




Hayley | 9/11/2006
" I read this book over the weekend and found that I didn't quite like it - which is unusal because I normal like Patricia Cornwell books. This one took ages to get going and didn't really give much away - I still wasn't quite sure who the actual killer was till I re-read the ending again. "
