Cracking up because the Libby edition has the “this is the end of disc 1”, etc. announcements. 😂

The 30+ years between when it was published and now is evident, but I enjoyed it for the most part and plan on continuing the series.
⭐️⭐️⭐️
(1991) Second in Cornwell's series featuring medical examiner Kay Scarpetta. The mystery is okay, but Kay's police partner is a homophobic bigot with a heart of gold, which I guess you could get away with in 1991 but is now just .... no. I understand the author herself came out in the 2000s, so I'm curious about her motivation for writing such a character as a hero, but not curious enough to read another.
I‘m reading this while re-watching Monk and picturing Leland Stottlemeyer as Marino. Also bought my cubicle a festive shrub.
2nd Kay Scarpetta novel is great. A writer is found murdered under suspicious circumstances. as the investigation goes on, Kay‘s office faces accusations of losing the victim‘s manuscript, bodies start piling up and a former flame reaches out while Kay seeks out the manuscript and the murderer.

Is it the Chardonnay or is Skip a seemingly unrelated name to Leslie 😂 although men‘s nicknames have never made sense to me (how is Jack a nickname for John? It has the same amount of letters?)

At the first plot twist where Kay‘s former flame isn‘t what he seems 🕵️♀️
Best reads from March.
Only one 5🌟this month, & nine 4🌟
20 books read last month & 59 so far this year.
I'm surprised I didn't review this one the first time I read it but here goes. This is a great follow-up to the first book in the series. We hear about more of Scarpetta's history when old flame, Mark James, suddenly appears. Can she trust him or is he out to break her heart again? 5🌟
Only managed 14 hours completed reading for my first #20in4 but finished 4 books.

I enjoyed the suspense and mystery while appreciating fewer gruesome scenes than her first book. Overall it was fun to figure out all the pieces along the way.
First book of the #readathon is finished.
I may need to read more of the Kay Scarpetta series. Because I don‘t already have enough books to read. 😄
The Color Purple is next on the pile.
Really enjoyed rereading/listening to the first book and am looking forward to book 2
Interesting, but sometimes hard to follow. Hints dropped everywhere. Definitely needed to pay attention to catch all the details.
