A review by arthur_pendrgn
Blow Fly by Patricia Cornwell
4.0
I read this out of order--picked it up after The Scarpetta Factor for...well, to see what I had forgotten. So much better than everything from Trace to The Scarpetta Factor. Maybe because no one is angry.
Anyway, I liked this one. Too many moving parts that Benton has spun up--that I find unlikely--but enjoyable all the same.

I have now read the entire series. Cornwell tries in Ch. 5, but she can't/doesn't explain Benton's "face" that they found in Point of Origin. To have his face there meant the FBI et al had already known the identities, habits, and lair of the killers and let the killing continue all to set up Benton's death.
I still like the book, but Kay is not angry enough at Marino, Lucy, or Benton at the festering heap of _____ Benton's deception made of her life. Nor the fact that his deception actually made things worse.
