Hmm. Took a while to get going - all that CSI stuff at the begining really slowed it down and the jumps in tense can make you pull out of the story a little. But, I'd say she's back. Much better than some of her recent stuff.
Kay and her team, including her computer whizz niece Lucy are trying to stop a killer, one who seems to leave no traces. His latest victim, tennis prodigy Drew Martin, killed in Rome. Along with Drew's baffling murder, and the coprse of an emaciated young boy, Scarpetta has them lining up to run her out of her new home of Charlestown, South Carolina. Funeral Home Directors with agendas. A coroner with secrets pretty close to Kay's home. Marino's reaction to her recent engagement to Wesley is so far over the top that he may regret his actions for the rest of his life and back spinning her deceitful web is Dr Marilyn Self who dropped off the airwaves with a family emergency right after Drew's murder. Self is out to torment Kay by hurting the people she loves, including Lucy and Benton. And then there's another murder.
Will be buying it in softback.
