Body of Evidence  (Kay Scarpetta, Bk 2)
gsisk avatar reviewed Not bad, but I dislike the character of Kay Scarpetta. on + 192 more book reviews
Helpful Score: 2


The body of a young and promising writer is discovered in her home shortly after she returns from hiding out. She was the protege of another, famous old writer who was living off the success of his one good book. But it seems she was more than just his protege, and her latest manuscript has disappeared - apparently it was going to be a tell-all book. But then the old writer is murdered, too; and his sister commits suicide.

It's one of those books I kept reading, because I wanted to know who done it, but I did not really enjoy it, because of Scarpetta's self-aggrandizing ways.
