I wish the library had #10 because there seems to be a good amount of things I was missing. Overall it was a good book!

I really enjoyed this book. Yes, Marino acts out like always and gets on everyone's nerves but he also shows a gentle side. Kay gets obsessed with Benton's file but that helps solve the murders in the end. Lucy seems less annoying in this book and helps out her aunt. A new character is introduced, a prosecuting attorney named Jaime. She's sharp, ambitious and very hard to read. She keeps telling Kay to trust her but as a reader I was screaming "don't". Jaime is a tough attorney and ends up being a huge help to Kay. I don't particularly care for the ending because the bad guys get away. I really hate that! I hope they catch them in the next book [b:Blow Fly|31623|Blow Fly (Kay Scarpetta, #12)|Patricia Cornwell|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1389270705s/31623.jpg|1454733].

Good not great in my opinion. Not one of my favorite books. Again, the amount of time the main character whines about not liking death is frustrating. Then do not become a coroner.

I have read 3 Scarpetta books back to back. ( #3, 7 and 11) They get better as time passes.

More like a continuation from the previous book, Black Order. Left some open ends for future books.
