Ratings and reviews

This book was very exciting and like the other book I enjoy reading I really find her enjoyable in DR. Scarpella and I enjoyed reading her books she is an exciting AUTHOR in Patricia Cornwell and I enjoying reading these Novels I'm going to read all of them of DR. Scarpella.im about to read the Third book of these Novels.

So i read her other book post mortem and loved it from beginning to end this one i wasnt as into it it literally took me a year to read because i just couldnt get into the book the beginning just dragged out for me finally chapter 11 is when it started getting good! But unfortunately i wasnt very into this book i found it to drag out and not be as thrilling as the last one i read

Scarpetta, you are the original , Dr. Medical Examiner Detective, and I enjoyed this book very much! The character is strong, keeping company with Dr. Brennan of "Bones" (Kathy Riechs) and I like Kay Scarpetta. Thank you Patricia Cornwell!
