Melde dich bei LibraryThing an um herauszufinden, ob du dieses Buch mögen würdest. Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch. Seriously her worst book ever. Why do I keep reading her stuff? How many frigging books can she write about Carrie Gretchen? Kill her already and move on to a new story. This was almost entirely a read of listening to Scarpetta's internal, neurotic monologue. I cannot stand any of the characters anymore. Her stories used to be so good. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Gehört zur ReiheKay Scarpetta (23)
Während sie einen Tatort untersucht, erhält Dr. Kay Scarpetta ein Video auf ihr Handy. Als sie es abspielt, kann sie kaum glauben, was sie sieht. Denn die Aufnahmen stellen alles infrage, was sie über ihre Nichte Lucy zu wissen meint ... Der Clip bringt Scarpetta in einen grausamen Gewissenskonflikt: Die Bilder zeigen Lucy bei einer schweren Straftat, und Scarpetta weiß, dass sie sich weder ihrem Ehemann Benton Wesley noch ihrem Kollegen Pete Marino anvertrauen darf, um ihrer Nichte zu helfen. Aber was hat es mit dem Video auf sich? Und wer hat es ihr zugespielt? Auf sich allein gestellt, sieht sich Scarpetta schon bald mit einer Reihe von Morden konfrontiert, die eine Gefahr aus ihrer eigenen Vergangenheit heraufbeschwören ... Patricia Cornwell, 1956 in Miami, Florida, geboren, arbeitete als Polizeireporterin und in der Rechtsmedizin, bevor sie vor mehr als zwanzig Jahren mit ihren bahnbrechenden Thrillern um die Gerichtsmedizinerin Dr. Kay Scarpetta begann. Ihre Bücher wurden mit allen renommierten Preisen ausgezeichnet und sind weltweit Bestseller. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

This is the 23rd book in this series, and of course it's the first one I read. Believe me, that doesn't help AT ALL. Not knowing a lot of the background about these characters and their situations didn't help my understanding of the relationships between these characters when reading this book through. While it didn't ruin the entire book for me, I think it somewhat ruined the experience. Why is the bad guy, well, the bad guy? Why do certain people not like each other? Patricia tries her very best to give as much background as possible in short bits, but it just wasn't enough.
Besides that issue, this book was really good! I love a good crime thriller - like Kathy Reichs, Patricia Cornwell has her own style and it's fantastic! It's a splash of mystery, some R rated scenes, and some solid character development along the way.
This book seems like it spans a long time, but in reality I think it's only a day or two. I don't even think it goes into the night! So this entire plot involving a dead body and "finding" the killer happened in under 24 hours?! It might not be believable, but it somehow worked. I didn't even notice it was only one day until I looked back over the story and some of the other reviews. I would like to see that expanded on - maybe make the books over a couple days, at the very least? But that's just my opinion.
Overall, I liked this book. I definitely would like to start from the beginning and work through all 23 books, but I doubt I'll be able to find them all (or find the time. My goodness, summer is already over when I wrote this review?!). Gritty crime stories like these always make my days more interesting - some days I love an ooey, gooey, guilty pleasure romance and other days I want an R rated crime/thriller or horror to take up my time.
Three out of five stars.
I received this book for free through Goodreads First Reads. ( )
