Book Review of Cruel and Unusual (Kay Scarpetta, Bk 4)

Cruel and Unusual  (Kay Scarpetta, Bk 4)
reviewed on + 6 more book reviews


It was a fun read, but I don't consider it one of her best books. In the 4th book of the Kay Scarpetta series, a man on death row is executed, and yet his prints are found at a homicide that occurred the same day of his execution, as well as a handful of other homicides that take place shortly after his execution. Kay Scarpetta finds her job on the line again as files go missing from her office and the computer database is broken into....clearly an inside job.
