Same old...
....with a fantastical sci-fi flavour. I haven't listened to a Scarpetta novel for years and soon remembered why. The interesting post-mortem-y stuff is always followed by more buffoonery from Marino (?Merino) who is the most implausible oaf. His every scene drags the whole thing down.

Surprise ending
Enjoyed the plot twists and character interactions. The story was very well written but I think the narrative was lacking something.

Another great Scarpetta novel
Really enoyable. Performance from the narrator was fantastic. Although, Lucy's character reminded me of an entitled teenager, not how I have pictured her from other books. But a great performance job the less, especially Scarpetta and Marino.

Amazing!
This is book 27 in the Kay Scarpetta series by Patricia Cornwell. Patricia is one of my favourite authors, and I have read all of her books. She is a fantastic and clever writer. I love her characters Kay, Lucy, Benton and Marino, and I always enjoy reading about every case they are investigating. They are like family to me.
In this book, which I loved, chief medical examiner Dr Scarpetta is examining the remains of two campers in Northern Virginia, who have been mauled beyond recognition. Along with Marino, Benton and Lucy, she investigates, to try and find out who committed these brutal murders.
I highly recommend this book, and all the books in this series!

Descriptions
At times gratuitous and unnecessary to explain a medical examiners work Earlier books were so much better in this respect

Not what I expected
I usually really enjoy anything scarpetta however this book seemed very rushed and random. Very disjointed beginning a more recognisable mid story and a disappointing ending rehashing old characters. It was Ok might be more enjoyable in print.

Long and drawn out
Preferred Cornwalls Earlier writing. All the high tech stuff not to my taste. Prefer a more authentic type story

the narrator was superb
I did enjoy the plot. the final narrative of the ending with all key players was a bit of a damp squib for me. nonetheless, I enjoyed the book.

Not her usual storyline
I’m a huge fan and I’ve read every book shed every written a couple of times over. I’ve been waiting eagerly for the book to come out but unfortunately I was a bit disappointed with the story line. I guess it’s left open for more books but not her usual “ wow that was fantastic “which is a shame 😕

Good installment
Good installment in the Scarpetta series but feels a bit like a filler book as not a lot happens - it feels like it was missing something that the other books in the series had. Hopefully this story is carried on and given more detail in the next book.
