A must read it delivers entertaining and action packed reading like all the books in this series. You won’t be disappointed.
Excellent
Patricia Cornwall is always a good choice.
The author is a good writer who keeps you in suspense. I recommend that you read all the books by this author.
Great read. Very gripping and easy to read.
Didn’t like this book, couldn’t get into it at all.
I love Kay Scarletta.
Reading in now
I love the Scarpetta series. Cornwell has exceptionally well developed characters.
I really liked Cornwell’s about the coroner but this was too little about the coroner and too much about all of the other characters. Maybe she ran out out of ideas.
I did not like it, did not finish
Crime fiction at its best.
True Patricia Cornwell.
A wonderful Scarpetta mystery with creepy villains, and lots of plot twists and turns, with a side dish of romance, too!
Too sophomoric. Couldn’t get through it.
Love, Love, LOVE the characters. I’ve read so many of Patricia Cornwell’s books that you feel like you know them personally. Crazy good!
I love Patrica Cromwell n love the way she writes. Love her books.
But, this one missed the mark. Way missed. I was sadden by this book that really didn’t even end.
Please, Patrica, go back and read your first book and go back to what we lived about your writing.
Great read.
I love Kay and Lucy as they solve crimes and solve their own personal problems!!
I love her books. This one didn’t disappoint.
