Summary

Florida is full of predators, from the animals who thrive in its heat to the humans who stalk the malls, and they all give Dr. Kay Scarpetta, a forensics specialist, the opportunity and the means to do what she does best: persuading the dead to speak to her.

Critic reviews

"It's not often a crime novel offers such a smorgasbord of oddball elements, including autopsy advice, methods of combating tree blight, the use of spiders in sadomasochist torture and couples covering the sexual and psychological waterfronts." ( Publishers Weekly)

Books do not get better

As I listen to the Scarlett’s series the books do not get better, but as I am this far in I am now invested. The biggest disappointment is what has happened to Pete Marinos character, no way would the original Pete turn into what he has.

I know this is an older story....

...I love Cornwell's books. I usually like Lorelei King's narrations, even when she mispronounces simple words (modem) but King attempting to do a South African accent (Afrikaans) was insulting. It was cross between English, Australian and something made up.

Bored of the series now

I should have given up at blowfly when out of nowhere the books are now read in the third person, it totally threw me and has carried on with trace and predator. The stories are now so repetitive and boring, how many times can a killer be obsessed with a medical examiner or her niece it's so implausible this deep into a series that it's bordering on laughable. Lorelei king is a fantastic narrator with that there is no issue at all. The books as always are expertly researched however for a character driven series I just don't care about any of the characters anymore and scarpetta herself becomes less likeable with every book. Her relationship with Benton is mundane and tiresome. There are 10 more years of books after this one and I don't think I can carry on listening to essentially the same story in different carnations over and over again

Another cunning storyline...

I really liked this book, but sometimes you think , Cornwall doesn't tell us how , leaves you dangling with so many unanswered questions in this book. Her endings are always opened ended...but I still think she writes brillantly, but it's the weakest story from her...now onto the next book

Enthralling as always

I love her books as I've rarely worked out "who dun it" until the denouement.This one was no different.

Brilliant as Always.

Patricia Cornwell's novels never fail to completely engage. Lorelei King delivers a perfect reading. highly recommend to fans of crime fiction. The whole Scarpetta series is a fantastic journey.

A good story, just not her best

I enjoyed this, I just think her other books are better. I would still recommend though.
