A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to reunite with my old friend, Patricia Cornwell. We had a fabulous time curled up together on the couch, puppies at our side, touring the pages of Scarpetta. Oh, how I'd missed her and the characters she pens!
Scarpetta takes us on a journey of the medical examiner's relocated life and career. In her post-Marino confrontation period, Scarpetta moves on to new experiences and navigates yet more high profile crimes. She tackles a role as advisor on CNN and ends up the focus of a very twisted mind. Unfortunately, several others are preyed upon and exploited before the team (yes, all the old favorites are accounted for) unravels the mystery.
In the end, good prevails over evil (of course). Life lessons are learned, or reinforced, and priorities are re-evaluated.
I confess to having this book in my nightstand for years, literally, before cracking the cover. Should've known Cornwell would deliver an entertaining read. She never disappoints with the Scarpetta series.
