 No, not as good as the first few Cornwells January 10, 2009
I had given up on Cornwell, her last few being so bad. Then, I got this one for Christmas so I pretended to like it. There are too many bizarre characters in these books now, making them too unbelievable to be fun. It was already a huge concession on my part to fall for Benton coming back to life, and now I have to suspend most normal logic. I find the third person voice of this novel hard to slog through. There is too little forensic investigation, which is what made these good. There is no real suspense either-- it is just that annoying voice holding back information that it refuses to tell us. I found this book frustrating, not absorbing and I ended up skipping to the end, I won't buy another.
FINALLY! The old P. Cornwell has returned! January 9, 2009

The last several P.C books have been absolutely painful to read...this one, she is back on her game! Maybe not quite as great as some of her earliest Scarpetta endeavors, but stil very, very good. Patricia, now that you have found your way back, PLEASE don't leave us again!
Back to What We Loved About Scarpetta and Crew January 8, 2009
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I just finished reading this book, and I absolutely loved it! I think this is the best one Cornwell has done in a while, especially after her last somewhat disappointing book. A huge part of what makes people love this series is the interactions among the main characters, not just the technical aspects of solving a murder mystery. The last couple of books have been really disappointing because it seemed like everybody was angry with everybody else and nobody was happy working together. "Scarpetta" is SO satisfying to read because we work past the animosities and get back to a bunch of professionals doing what they do best.
I loved the interaction among characters as well as the details about the Internet and cyberspace. The new romances were also a bonus. All in all, this was a very satisfying read for me. I'm looking forward to reading it again, but first I want to go back and reread the series in order to refresh myself on many details to which Scarpetta alludes in the book.
 Far from her best January 8, 2009
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I respectfully disagree with the effusive praise being heaped upon this book by so many readers. I've read every Scarpetta novel (and almost every other book by Ms. Cornwell) and think this is among her worst.
If you want her at her best, start at the beginning and then quit when you get to the 2000s.
This book is tedious ... the only reason I finished it was because I'm compulsive about finishing books that I start.
Her early stuff is outstanding ... her latter stuff has gone down hill.
High Drama and Excitement January 8, 2009

Wow. This was so charged with emotion I couldn't put it down for a minute. There is everything here, injustice, drama, adventure and good writing. I really enjoy reading Patricia Cornwell's books ever since Portrait of a Killer. This is definitely one of her best.
