Advantages: Gripping, Harrowing, A rollercoaster ride

Disadvantages: Climax of novel

I have read many many titles in the Dr Kay Scarpetta series. All which have kept me gripped, however this one is by far the best!

We once again see the psychotic Carrie Grethen appear, and plan her revenge on Scarpetta and her loved ones, namely Lucy, Benton and Marino.

This book was so gripping, I could not put it down, and i'm sure my fingers left burn marks on the pages.

The character Dr Scarpetta has gone up immensly in my estimations, in this fine novel she comes across as strong and more determined than ever, considering the harrowing circumstances which she is in.

I had not read the previous book in the series, to which this one makes references to, however I don't feel this is necessary, and perhaps if I had have read the previous book - this novel would be even more enjoyable.

The only complaint about the book is that the climax of the novel happens in less than 10 pages. I feel it didn't give enough information about what happened.

All in all, a great read and a high recommendation to any Scarpetta fan.
