I started this series because I will soon need something to take the place of JD Robb's Eve Dallas series. I'm not sure this will suffice. The story was ok, and the narration (from the audio book) was ok. It just didn't suck me in and excite me the way other books do. Plus, there were a bunch of 'date stamps' throughout the story. I know it was written a while ago, but it still bugged me to hear about watching a VHS, or the modem for an intranet connection and the constant chain smoking of almost every character. I suppose I was thinking that such a popular series would have been edited and updated by now.

Overall, it's an ok read, but Kay Scarpetta is no Eve Dallas!
