A review by crich19
Trace by Patricia Cornwell

3.0

As a huge fan of Patricia Cornwell, and Kay Scarpetta, I have to say this was NOT my favorite Scarpetta novel. It was good and kept me interested, but not near as good as the others in the series!

Scarpetta, who no longer works as the Chief Medical Examiner in Virginia, has been recalled to help investigate the suspicious death of a young girl. Dr. Marcus, the current Chief is not the least bit welcoming and appears to have ruined the good name Scarpetta created for the OCME. Marino is back too, and just as feisty as ever, yet this novel lacks the suspense and intrigue that most Cornwell novels have.

A good read, but I'm hoping the next installment of Scarpetta brings her back to her roots!!!
