pickI was worried when I saw the bad reviews, but this is a decent read/listen. It just isn‘t up to the high tension levels a Kay Scarpetta can be. I‘d give it about 3.5 ⭐️. Tying in murders from teasers in the previous book, this story actually is about the return of one of the monsters after Kay and her loved ones.
pan2✨ I figured out that this was the 22nd book in the series after I started reading it. There is a lot of character development that I missed, and they mention a lot of different cases throughout. There was also a few murders and I don‘t think anything was really resolved by the end. I get that there is more books in the series after, but feel each individual story should have a set end with resolution. Unhauling this #roll100
pickAlways a good quick read. We added some extra terrestrial science and I liked it. Good forensics and lost love. Kay Scarpetta is a good character still.
pickI enjoyed it. The Scarpetta 1st person POVs are the best ones (idk why this series has so many format changes) the set up for this one was neat, but it did seem drawn out in the beginning w/3 different scenarios demanding Kay‘s attention. & No idea why there had to be a connection with a victim & Scarpetta‘s team… the amount of times that has happened is silly. But ultimately the action was so good.
so-soMeh. Plot seemed slow. And stretched. Gives off too much “the world revolves around Kay” vibes. And then the character wonders why some people despise her.
Plus the audiobook narrator was not great. She did fine with the voice of Kay, but Lucy sounded like Eyore and I don‘t know what accent she thought she was afflicting Marino with, but it sure wasn‘t a Jersey one, and that‘s a critique from someone who grew up in Jersey.
pickThe 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.
⭐️⭐️⭐️
