Trace: Scarpetta | Patricia Cornwell
7 posts | 35 read | 9 to read
Now freelancing from south Florida, Dr. Kay Scarpetta returns to Richmond, Virginia, the city that turned its back on her five years ago. Investigating the death of a young girl, she must follow the twisting leads and track the strange details in order to make the dead speak-and to reveal the sad truth that may be more than even she can bear.

In most Kay books the crime solving tech &villains are the focus. This had meaningful character interactions (❤️sometimes there are 0) but she consistently leaves huge emotional conflicts off the page &there‘s a big 1 here.

I cannot believe she named the villain Edgar Allen Pogue. He has a (fake) history with the characters as if we would not remember an Edgar Allen Pogue. PC, you have to leave these breadcrumbs. TLP/Lucy‘s plot becomes asinine.

5feet.of.fury The ending also completely fizzled out. & some the endings have been worth whatever shenanigans went on in the middle. 3mo

Although it gave me some good points for #Scarathon, I can‘t recommend this one and I‘ve read most of the series. The characters were more “woe is me”, the writing somewhat repetitive and the overall murder mystery/thrill rush just fell off completely. Positives: I got 10 hours of reading towards #31by31 Readathon, a #ScarathonDailyPrompt for multiple victims, and a lot of word search words points to add to this week for #TeamSlaughter!

I realise there are more main characters but I really dislike the third person narration. Maybe as this is book 13 in the series I just have higher expectations.

It wasn't my favourite Scarpetta book but I still enjoyed it, got bored at times though. Kay does really annoy me as a main character at times 😂

Booksnchill Agreed I think she is just getting too annoying! 5y
suzie.reads @Booksnchill I've always struggled especially with her obsession with Lucy but this one was worse. Hoping Predator is better 😊 5y

I really couldn't get into this book for some reason. Not sure if it was the story that bored me, or what was happening with the characters, but I was totally bored and drifting off while reading it.

I have a ton of #onewordtitles for #photoadaynov16 I mean I am a huge Stephen King fan, however, I spent the day finishing N0S4A2 and I am emotionally drained and lazy. This is the book I pulled from the living room bookshelf to take to the bedroom shelf.
