I was still excited to read this one, even tho the past couple were lackluster. after some meaningful Scarpetta/Marino interactions in the last book, their behavior distant &weird again. Lucy was a recovering alcoholic in the last 1, that storyline was abandoned &she had a random health scare that didn‘t get resolved & didn‘t make any sense out of her character arc. The crime itself was interesting but all the perspectives made the reveal slow AF
Scarpetta is just so annoying….but I have a soft spot for her
Next audible
This was a weird installment (#12) the narration in prior books solely follows Scarpetta… this follows… well, everyone. Too many people. It cycled through each perspective so quickly that no real tension is built. Very odd. I hope she switches back.
A great mystery where my opinions were constantly changing. I love procedural based books, especially focused on forensics. A solid start to a series. But wow, being written in 1990, this was certainly a blast from the past: smoking indoors everywhere and all the time; casual homophobia; limited technology (omg the computers); DNA in its infancy. I‘m excited to see how Scarpetta navigates through all of this as she solves new crimes as I read on.
I‘m finding it hard to focus on my current reads right now even though I am enjoying Love Interest (struggling with Immortal Longings), so I‘m starting the tagged book in hopes a mystery will draw me in.

Gave this series another go, but generally it doesn‘t wow me. Think other better series to focus on at the moment.
4th book finished for #20in4
