From Booklist
Kay Scarpetta lovers will omit their favourite forensic pathologist during this new mystery, as Cornwell cedes a lot of the highlight to different characters within the long-running sequence. Lucy, Kay's defiant niece, and Marino, the bad-tempered, opinionated cop, are right here, as are a number of widespread wicked psychopaths--among them, "Wolfman" Jean-Baptiste Chandonne and his dual brother, who first surfaced in Black become aware of (2000). it seems that Chandonne, whose execution date is coming near, desires to see Kay, ostensibly to bare information regarding his kinfolk that may make sure the cave in in their Mob cartel and to have her administer the drug that would finish his lifestyles. yet, as ordinary in Cornwell's more moderen books, completely not anything is what it sort of feels. Granted, there are a few compelling (and ugly) moments, and some free ends from prior books are eventually taken care of... in a different way, although, this can be a murky stew, certainly, with motion careening in manner too many instructions. Oh, for a go back to the Cornwell who created the harsh yet weak Scarpetta, who, at middle degree, used her mind and forensic education to unravel a more uncomplicated secret. Stephanie Zvirin
