Bra men inte en av hennes bästa i serien om Kay Scarpetta.

I have followed Scarpetta since her first case and thoroughly enjoy Patricia Corwells books. This might not be her best with regards to intrigue which is a bit to much the same as the previous. Having said that her way of weaving in human questions of society and its deveolpment is as always intriguing. My interpretation of Scarpetta is that she is quite aloof and the reader is to me a bit constrained in her way of reading. But that might just be me. Hope you will be able to put through the rest of her books, especially the early ones.
