Summary: Back to What We Loved About Scarpetta and Crew
Comment: I just finished reading this book, and I absolutely loved it! I think this is the best one Cornwell has done in a while, especially after her last somewhat disappointing book. A huge part of what makes people love this series is the interactions among the main characters, not just the technical aspects of solving a murder mystery. The last couple of books have been really disappointing because it seemed like everybody was angry with everybody else and nobody was happy working together. "Scarpetta" is SO satisfying to read because we work past the animosities and get back to a bunch of professionals doing what they do best.
I loved the interaction among characters as well as the details about the Internet and cyberspace. The new romances were also a bonus. All in all, this was a very satisfying read for me. I'm looking forward to reading it again, but first I want to go back and reread the series in order to refresh myself on many details to which Scarpetta alludes in the book.

Summary: Far from her best
Comment: I respectfully disagree with the effusive praise being heaped upon this book by so many readers. I've read every Scarpetta novel (and almost every other book by Ms. Cornwell) and think this is among her worst.
If you want her at her best, start at the beginning and then quit when you get to the 2000s.
This book is tedious ... the only reason I finished it was because I'm compulsive about finishing books that I start.
Her early stuff is outstanding ... her latter stuff has gone down hill.

Summary: High Drama and Excitement
Comment: Wow. This was so charged with emotion I couldn't put it down for a minute. There is everything here, injustice, drama, adventure and good writing. I really enjoy reading Patricia Cornwell's books ever since Portrait of a Killer. This is definitely one of her best.

Summary: Mind Racing that leads to Explosion
Comment: This novel begins with a cadence I would imagine most crime scene investigators use with the initial search and documention--slow and scientifically methodical. There were alot of unanswered questions with the ending of her last novel Book of the Dead that needed addressing, but when she finally turns up the heat of action all hell breaks loose. I couldn't put it down and was fastened to my seat with the protective arm bars that give you an idea of what is to come in the roller coaster ride ahead. ABSOLUTELY GRIPPING!!!
