I especially enjoyed learning that Kay Scarpetta had given up smoking, as I cringed every time she lit up a cigarette in the morgue. I found it interesting to read about the new and emerging forensic techniques used by the characters that we are so familiar with today.
As well as being part of a well know series, this is also a stand alone book, and I'd recommend it to anyone who likes to read crime fiction.
My rating = ***
Carpe Librum!
