I think this is my favorite book yet. Kay showed a really vulnerable side of her here. I know she did also in The Body Farm, but this was different. Kay was in such a different form of danger in this book and it was really interesting to see how she took on everything. Between the pox-like disease to Benton, there were so many layers to her personal life in this book. I'm mostly a romance reader, so I'm used to many emotions, and I think that's part of the reason I loved this book so much.
OK, so aside from the personal life and emotional issues, I loved how different the crime was in this book too. That alone had many, many layers. You had your sneaky people, your completely innocent and wronged people, and you had the mad scientist. I loved every second!!!

There is no way an educated woman in the position of Chief Medical Examiner would have acted the way she does in this novel. Kay makes terrible decisions, places innocent people in danger and then acts superior when encouraged to think rationally.
Considering how much I disliked this book and the previous one as well, the epilogue of this one gives me hope that Kay will be more likeable and clear headed in the next. I'll be giving this series one more shot with the next book.

Un livre qui résonne plus drôlement post-covid, mais tout de même une intrigue originale (surtout si on tient compte du moment où il a été écrit).
