Blow Fly by Patricia Cornwell

4.0

This was my first Scarpetta novel and I did really like it, although I must say I found it quite overwhelming due to the many different "pov" presented. I guess it's my fault as I wasn't familiar with the story before. Because I didn't know the characters I struggled a little at the beginning, and I often got lost between the many many characters and the somewhat long prose used by Cornwell. I also felt like not much happened in the overall plot during the course of the book, just more in the last 2 or 3 chapters. The story had a nice flow but it was rather slow. I loved the author's descriptive style and how the dialogues were just right. The plot was interesting as I'm a crime-mystery aficionado. And of course, now I want to be Kay Scarpetta when I grow up.
