About this listen

The body of a woman has been discovered inside the gates of MIT, draped in an unusual cloth. An examination reveals that the body is covered in a fine dust that under ultra-violet light fluoresces blood-red, emerald-green and sapphire-blue. As Kay Scarpetta pieces together the evidence, she draws herself and her team deeper into the dark world of designer drugs, drone technology and shocking corruption at the highest level.

Loved the story and the characters as always. Well read, found it easy to identify with them. As with all Kay Scarpette stories, the details are so fascinating and help draw you into her world.p

Patricia Cornwell's book 'Dust', is as always a layered masterpiece. All the expected players doing their bit to bring to life this story. Excellent.

Whenever I read or listen to a book by one of my favourite authors, I worry that I may be disappointed, that it may not be as good as others that I've read. "Dust" by Patricia Cornwell was as beautifully crafted as I would have expected from her. The story is complex and satisfying, with a well balanced narrative, rich in story telling and description of both people and places. Lorelei King reads well, and unobtrusively, switching voices and characterisations unnoticeably. If you haven't read Cornwell before, she will fill you in as far as Kay Scarpetta's history is concerned, subtlety, making sure that the reader is not left wondering about the heroine and her background. A very good story, with a satisfying denouement.

You won't be disappointed!

Perhaps I have moved on. In the past I have found her novels gripping and exciting. It is over 12 months since I listened to a Scarpetta book and either my tastes have changed or this is not a good story.

Not a classic

Fabulous, going to buy as many as I can afford.
