" A suspense story about a crazed serial killer with archaeological fetishes, featuring a tough lady detective and an equally tough lady forensics medical examiner. I gather this is the seventh in a series. I started out hating this book--the characters were all shallow and predictable, the dialogues trite, unlikely, or poorly written. (Someone gave me this to read on a plane.) What eventually redeemed the novel for me some was the way it escalated toward a climactic finish with a bit of a twist in the denouement, and the instructive reviews of such macabre but fascinating information as how to properly mummify a body, how to correctly shrink a human head, and how to creatively use a peat bog in diabolical ways.
