En route to Isle of Palms, a barrier island off the South Carolina coast, forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan receives a call from the Charleston coroner. During the storm, a medical waste container has washed up on the beach. Inside are two decomposed bodies wrapped in plastic sheeting and bound with electrical wire. Chillingly, Tempe recognises many details as identical to those of an unsolved case she handled in Quebec 15 years earlier. With a growing sense of foreboding, she flies to Montreal to gather evidence and convince her boss Pierre LaManch to reopen the cold case.

In a city as old as London, the discovery is hardly surprising. But when scratch marks are found on the inside of the coffin lid, Detective Jane Tennison believes she has unearthed a mystery far darker than any she's investigated before. However, not everyone agrees. Tennison's superiors dismiss it as a historic cold case and the Church seems desperate to conceal the facts from the investigation. It's clear that someone is hiding the truth and perhaps even the killer. Tennison must pray she can find both - before they are buried forever.

Very long and tedious
I gave up before the end, this book is just too boring.
I loved Scarpetta or have I confused the author!? ... this is too long, disjointed, and sorry to say boring.
I hoped it would find its stride but it doesn't.
The narrator's voice is easy to listen too,
Not worth a credit.

Cornwell at her best
Another 'binge listen' book which was covered over meal times and bed times.
With a good plot and multiple sub-plots it kept my wife and I listening. Her descriptive writing gave plenty for the imagination to conjure with. Excellent.

Just annoying
I have downloaded some awful books recently, but this is the worst. I have always held the view that a book should always be finished, which is not a difficult task usually, but I couldn’t get much further than 3 or 4 hours in to this. It was just painful to listen to. I used to like Patricia Cornwell’s books but this is soooo irritating. A young Adonis, flirtations with senior police officers, a newspaper workaholic wunderkind...it took me a while to realise it wasn’t going to get better and was in fact going to bug me more.
All that being said, Lorelei King is great.

The best of writing by Patricia Cornwell
I've always enjoyed the Scarpetta books by this author, and I'm pleaded to be finding another series. There is a lot going on, and I enjoyed getting to know these new, very believable characters. Brilliantly narrated by the inimitable Lorelei Kings voice.

Slow paced, drawn out and a bit boring
I was a little disappointed with this book after checking out some of the reviews on goodreads. If I’d have checked out reviews on audible first I might not have bothered with it. I’m not saying it was bad, but it was very drawn out to say the least, especially through the middle third of the book which jumped about from one character to another and was mostly irrelevant to the main storyline. In fact the main storyline sort of took a back seat throughout the book and there could have been so much more development of the black widow character rather than wasting time in over developing the protagonists, a lot of which had no relevance to the story. I usually like fast paced, edge of seat, suspenseful thrillers. This is none of the above! I might give Patricia Cornwall another go due to the review that says this is nothing like her other books but if I hadn’t seen that I definitely wouldn’t go back in a hurry!
