Cornwell's last book was not very good and this one was worse. She has lost her story telling ability.

I can't say this was my favorite Scarpetta novel. She was more of an observer in this one rather than a an active participant. For the story line I can see why that was necessary, but I don't like my strong, resourceful, smart role model as well in those types of circumstances. Overall an interesting plot with discussions of surveillance equipment and weapons that I'm sure are not only possible but probable. The descriptive, grisly details found in Jack's hide-a-way made me glad, once again, that I'm a reader and free to imagine as much of that as I need to without over doing it as so much of visual media does.
