RED MIST is a welcome return to the style and character of Patricia Cornwell's early Kay Scarpetta novels. For a few years, the author's work was bitter and all the characters seemed angry; the books were not pleasant to read. It's great to welcome "the real" Kay Scarpetta back.
Kate Burton narrated this book beautifully. She gave each character a distinctive voice without overdoing the accents...even including a brief conversation with an Australian man! A good narrator can make or break a book, and Burton is the best reader for Cornwell of several I've heard.
The multiple murder mystery was well-plotted, and when the "whodunnit" was revealed, I felt that I had been given all the facts and a fair chance to figure it out along with Scarpetta.

Love the Scarpetta books. Even though this is an older one, it was great!!!!
I usually like the Kay Scarpetta books but the heroine was not her usual self in this one. She was quite whiney - very unusual. Lots of introspection and "poor me" internal discussion. Didn't actually get into the story until about the third CD.
