Patricia Cornwell had a bad dream one night...in fact, it was a nightmare about Scarpetta, Marino and company. When she woke up in the morning, she wrote it all down and called it "The Book of the Dead."

This was disjointed, foggy, frustrating...all those qualities one finds in a bad dream.
The characters don't act like themselves. The mystery is briefly alluded to, and then forgotten until a frantic resolution (if you can call it that) at the end.

Do yourself a favor, and skip this one. It won't hurt a thing.
