A review by trishagreenie
Trace by Patricia Cornwell

3.0

This was a decent read, and the characters are like old friends you can return to again and again. Admittedly I haven't read many of Patricia Cornwell's novels, but I do enjoy them whenever I do. I will say this one wasn't quite a 'thriller'. The usual sort of creepiness was present, of course, but there were no moments when I felt sure that any of the characters were in serious trouble (except, of course, the ones already dead) and might not make it out alive, so I guess that's what I would expect out of any book that people call a 'thriller'.

I enjoy Cornwell's writing style, and I enjoy the history between Scarpetta and Marino, but I can't say that this book made me want to read it over and over again 'cause I just can't get enough. By no means will it put me off reading more of Cornwell's novels in future, though.
