5.0

I love a Scarpetta novel!

If you like shows like NCIS, you’d probably like this book. However, I’d rather have the entire story line presented to me in 30 minutes to an hour via a show rather than a book. That last chapter (when the mystery is solved) was the most enjoyable, but prior to that I never found myself very invested in the characters or story line.

Can be read standalone, but I imagine the reader would be far more invested if starting at the beginning of the series. Perhaps that would make me more invested in the characters

This was a really great continuation to the Scarpetta series. I only knocked off a star because I read this during a pandemic and I found myself really frustrated by Kay's quarantine impatience.

Finally we know the true story about Mark—even if it was a tiny part of the book!!

It's amazing that Marino's head hasn't exploded yet, the amount of times he's referred to as going "dangerously red"...

For me, this is my favorite out of the series so far!!! I loved it so much! It hooked me from the beginning and I literally read it in 4 days!! Can’t wait for the next!!
