Plot wise this is one of the best in the series so far. An elaborate conspiracy involving a cult, the crime impacts not just Kay‘s office, but nearby jurisdictions and has possible global implications. Since @OutsmartYourShelf brought it up in their review I‘m going to go off in the comments about how up Lucy‘s ass Kay is. But it was certainly a fun, quicker read than the Gault trilogy 💯

5feet.of.fury Please picture for a moment that you are in you early 20s, high stress FBI job, you are genius. You are a lesbian. It is the 90s. You want to have more avenues in your career, you train for the obstacle course so you can do field assignments. Your aunt baselessly accuses you of an eating disorder. 2y
5feet.of.fury You visit her home for the holiday,your aunt invites a bigot (Marino has always been nice to Lucy, but he is), aunt gets called away on investigations during which your tires get slashed &your gf comes out to her parents who respond horribly. You have some drinks, burrito in bed &cry. Your aunt accuses you of self destructive behavior&brings up when you had an accident drunk driving where it was determined you were maliciously run off the road. 2y
5feet.of.fury I have been so much more dramatic for less 😂 2y
OutsmartYourShelf All so true. 2y

I‘m on chapter 1, the set up is pretty good so far, this exchange is so weird, did Cornwell forget Scarpetta‘s government car was a hearse? in multiple other books she drove a hearse 😂

5feet.of.fury Y‘all. She drives a hearse later in this same book. 2y

This isn't the usual style of plot for Cornwell & it's not as page-turning or as tightly plotted as the previous books, but the main problem is Scarpetta herself.

First of all she really needs to back off when it comes to niece Lucy - Lucy is no longer ten years old, she's an FBI agent & Scarpetta needs to let her do her job. Secondly, Benton literally cannot do right for doing wrong for her. Scarpetta needs to take a holiday & chill. 3.5🌟

5feet.of.fury I‘m on the one before this and I agreeee. Cornwell writing choices with the characters are so bizarre. 2y

Book 7 in the Kay Scarpetta series and I really enjoyed this one. I do find her to be abit much with her niece but it didn't spoil the book. I was more gripped with this one unlike the last book in the series. Look forward to number 8.

Another win with this series! I love how suspenseful these books are - I'm tense while reading at points just wondering what can possibly happen next. I would definitely recommend!

You guys. I have to be honest. I've picked up a new guilty pleasure and it's the Kay Scarpetta series. I can't stop reading them. Luckily, they're the series of choice in many of the Estate Sales I do, so I always seem to pick up the next one in the series in a timely manner. I'm not the only one, right?

bookishkai I'll warn you that the earlier books are the best; I actually stopped reading after The Last Precinct. And, I love your pug. What is his/her name? 8y
MrBook Cutie! 😻 8y
RiotMom @bookishkris I'm fully preparing myself for the fact that they'll start to be terrible lol. And that's Dug! He's a farty, snoring mess and I love him. Who is yours? 8y

bookishkai @RiotMom my pug is Livy. She thinks she's a cat. She's a snore-y, hiccup-y devil dog who enjoys stealing Kleenex, eating my knitting needles, and sleeping on my head. And I wouldn't trade anything for her; I never knew I could love a dog as much as I love her. 8y
BookishFeminist OMG YOUR PUG IS ADORABLE. Also I had no idea I wasn't following you but I just fixed that! 💜💖 8y
