This is the 12th book in the series. I can't seem to put them down. They are well written, entertaining, educational and somewhat gruesome.
With the exception of the main characters being all present and accounted for, this book doesn't follow its predecessors. That is what I liked most about it... it was a whole new story.
There is a murder of a young girl that is a lot like the attack and assault on one of Lucy's friends. Through good investigative work, the murderer is found. He sort of reminds me of Norman Bates, the way he loves and hates his mother.
What I like about Cornwell's novels is that you are there for the investigation, beginning to end, through Scarpetta's eyes. You can see what she sees, hear what she hears and smell what she smells. All are important senses for investigating a murder.
I honestly don't know how to describe her books. One of these days I may have to sit down and tell you more about the main characters and what has happened so far. The stories don't take place one after another, but span years. From her first story, 'Post Mortem' to the current story, it has probably been 15 years or so. You get to grow with the characters, I really enjoy that.
