A good detective story but hated the convoluted dialogue between Dr Kay and hubby Benton-- it was like they were talking to walls when they were discussing his case and problems with the new lab with each other. Pages and pages of dialogue between them asking each other questions and they never replied to each other, like they were in 2 different conversations! 2 highly educated people in their fields of specialty would never carry on conversations like that without them confronting each other about non-responsiveness!
Marino and Lucy are acting their normal selves in this one which made me like them again, just not how story was told. Cornwell tells story from viewpoint that Dr Kay is in the dark about what's been going on at her new lab/business while away for 6 months on military duty at Dover AFB, Delaware where military casualties come in from Europe, Africa, and the Middle East to be autopsied. This keeps us in the dark too but, is such a twisted way to tell the story, I think there must be a better way it could have been written.
