I think I have read every Scarpetta book – I am pretty sure. I don’t know what I did with all of them but this seems to be the only one on my bookshelf at the moment.
I started oddly enough reading this series in Japanese years ago, when my friend lend the first three books of the series. It was so gripping, I then bought the fourth book in English, but the transition was smooth. The Japanese translation was very good.
I’ve grown old with the characters -I’ve seen Kay Scarpetta through her troubles, her niece Lucy grow up and good old Marino always there to help. Patricia Cornwell writes with a female perspective with attention to detail of the crime scenes yet also presents delicate descriptions of emotions which makes this series such a gripping read!
