Product Description:
Kay Scarpetta is starting over with a unique private forensic pathology practice in Charleston, South Carolina. And the death of a sixteen-year-old tennis star will usher in a string of murders more baffling—and terrifying—than any that have come before.

I don't recognize the characters we have come to know from the previous Sacarpetta novels. Boring, weird, and mean are some adjectives that come to mind. I am halfway through Book of the Dead, and am just about to give up. Interesting that all the reviews on the 'sellers' page are positive. Click on the balance and find the opposite, and many of them. This is my last Cornwell novel.

I couldn't keep reading this book and got bored with the dialog. I'm reading Scarpetta now and if it doesn't get better, this will be the last Patricia Cornwell book I'll purchase.

Can't really care about the victims, either. Of the recurring characters, only Marino (and Rose, to an extent) has texture, and even that is unsatisfying. The writing is cryptic. I could ...

I read the earliest Scarpetta books with enthusiasm and enjoyment; but after 4 or 5, it got too repetitive and I lost interest. After a long interim, I picked up this book to get reacquainted. What a waste of time---the storyline was incoherent, disjointed, trite. What else can I say? Someone needs to kill off Scarpetta.
