I am currently listening to Book Of The Dead by
Patrica Cornwell read by Mary Stuart Masterson.
Book Of The Dead
Patricia Cornwell
Thriller
Bestseller Cornwell's 15th novel to feature Dr. Kay
Scarpetta (after 2005's Predator) delivers her
trademark grisly crime scenes, but lacks the coherence
and emotional resonance of earlier books. Soon after
relocating to Charleston, S.C., to launch a private
forensics lab, Scarpetta is asked to consult on the
murder of U.S. tennis star Drew Martin, whose
mutilated body was found in Rome. Contradictory
evidence leaves Scarpetta, the Italian carabinieri and
Scarpetta's lover, forensic psychologist Benton
Wesley, stumped. But when she discovers unsettling
connections between Martin's murder, the body of an
unidentified South Carolina boy and her old nemesis,
the maniacal psychiatrist Dr. Marilyn Self, Scarpetta
encounters a killer as deadly as any she's ever faced.
With her recent switch from first- to third-person
narration, Cornwell loses what once made her series so
compelling: a window into the mind of a strong,
intelligent woman holding her own in a profession
dominated by men. Here, the abrupt shifts in point of
view slow the momentum, and the reader flounders in
excessive forensic minutiae.
