Very meh. Scarpetta is giving “not like other girls” energy. The ending was so abrupt I was sure my kindle was glitching. No more Scarpetta for me. Also Wesley is pathetic.
From Potter's Field is yes another brilliant psychological thriller from Patricia Cornwell. The body of a homeless woman is found propped into a sitting position in the freezing cold. Kay Scarpetta, chief medical examiner of Virginia is called in and immediately recognises the handiwork of Temple Brooks Gault, a serial killer never caught. Except this time, his target is none other than her.
In From Potter's Field, Patricia Cornwell explores the different relationships between the characters as well as mental illness. The events that occur in From Potter's Field are much of what we could be seeing on TV the next day, insanely realistic. She explores Temple Brooks Gault's game with Kay Scarpetta well, tempting and taunting her at every move.
Dr Kay Scarpetta is the narrator of the series. She has a great character, and her flaws really showed in this book. Her inner sense of justice and honed instincts are a very great asset to her. Some complications from earlier books remain, including her tangled love life.
One of my other favourite characters is her niece, Lucy. Lucy has a very high IQ, and is the mastermind behind the Criminal Artificial Intelligence Network, more commonly known simply as CAIN. Her sexual orientation and young age make many doubt her ability, but I really admire her.
Patricia Cornwell really is one of the best crime writers ever. Her mysteries are ongoing, explorational, and very real world. She allows her characters to face many hardships, further strengthening the storyline and plot. If you love Murder Mysteries, Patricia Cornwell is for you.

This really wasn't as good as I remembered. Yet again Kay is the only one who can stop the bad guy.
I really liked the book until the very last page. The story ended rather abruptly. I was curious about what Temple Gault's motive was to all of his killings. Unless i find out in the next novel.
