Katherine Adams, January 5, 2009

A great book following her last one, which left readers upset and disappointed about the future of a major character. That question is answered in a deft way.

Not only did Cornwell provide the usual twists and turns on the road to the end, but "Scarpetta" answered and/or filled in the backgrounds of the characters regular readers know.

The characters and their relationships -- even though we know them quite well at this point -- were more textured than Cornwell's other books, which made the read even more enjoyable. It's a longer book, but I managed --and really wanted to -- read it in one sitting. (Well, I did have to read the last 70 pages after a few hours of sleep.)

"Scarpetta" was the best of Cornwell's last few novels; I hope the next one is as satisfying.
