Publisher Description

Filled with tension and continual surprises, Unnatural Exposure is a thrilling chapter in Virginia Chief Medical Examiner Kay Scarpetta's life--and a triumph for #1 New York Times best-selling author Patricia Cornwell. The body of an elderly woman is found dismembered in a Virginia landfill. Scarpetta initially believes the clues mirror that of a serial killer she's tracked before, but upon further investigation, she discovers puzzling pox-like erruptions on the woman's body that, perhaps, point in another direction. When the killer contacts her via e-mail, Scarpetta enlists the aid of her computer-savvy niece, Lucy, to help track this monster through cyberspace. Learning that the Virginia victim was exposed to a high-tech virus that might unleash an epidemic, Scarpetta realizes she's dealing with a sophisticated mind. Her investigation leads her from the government's biological defense facility in Utah, to Atlanta's Center for Disease Control--and eventually to quarrantine, when it is discovered that Scarpetta has been exposed to this fatal virus. Along the way, she's forced to deal with the unscrupulous ambitions of a slick FBI agent, Lucy's problems, and her own turbulent feelings for Agent Wesley Benton.

    " Ok, so this book is crap, so sue me. At least Patricia Cornwell writes fairly well and you kinda learn something. I will have to say, though, this wasn't the best Kay Scarpetta book I've read. It was a little too confusing and Law and Order for me. I am going to visit Tangiers Island now, though. "

    " I didn't quite like this book. It was a little confusing for me, but in the end, I didn't like the outcome of the whole small pox confusion. Patricia Cornwell is usually a pretty good writer, but I don't know what happened to this book. "

    " "Scattered and unfocused. Not firmly rooted in Kay's pov. Almost the opposite of Postmortem which was so tightly controlled and fast. Had trouble getting through it." "

    " All in all, a good book if you like that kind of genre. Good thing is that all medical terms and police acronyms are explained immediately so you don't have to search at the end of the book. Quite many twists in the plot that keep you interested. "

    " I wish I could be a bigger fan of Patricia Cornwell. Her books certainly are readable, even gripping at times, but they frequently leave me unstatisfied. In this particular book, we don't meet the killer until the last chapter. Not fair. "

    " This book has a weird twist to it. I liked the character development but I don't like how everyone Scarpetta is close to or works with keeps dying. Also not sure if I like Benton and Scarpetta as a couple, yet either. I like the knowledge in this book but it wasn't a favorite of mine. "

    " A change of pace from Cornwell's usual writing style. Told in first person so it threw me off at first because I'm not used to reading from Scarpetta's direct point of view. But it had a good plot and fit nicely in the Kay Scarpetta series. "
