She told her that she knew this and that when she dies, she is going to die happy.Bill Boltz works at the RPD with Kay. Him and Kay have been "involved" for a few months, but their relationship ends before the murders are resolved. Bill's wife committed suicide by shooting herself in the chest with Bill's gun while she was lying in their bed. Bill informs Kay that Abby Turnbull, a reporter for the local newspaper, might have something against him, and that is why she is linking the leaks about the murders to a "medical source." Earlier in the year, Abby did a report on Bill Boltz. After the interview, they went out for a late dinner. Abby claims Bill took advantage of her that night.6. Theme: The theme of the book is to pay more attention to the people around you and close to you. Kay should have found more time to spend with Lucy.7. Setting: The novel takes place in Richmond, Virginia. It's set in late spring, possibly June. A specific year was not mentioned. The atmosphere is suspenseful and unpredictable.8. Point of View: The narrator of the story is Kay Scarpetta. The story is told in first person. The reader sees everything the way Kay sees it and only knows what she knows.9. Tone: The tone of the novel cannot be summed up in one word. It is suspenseful, astonishing, powerful, fearful, captivating, stunning, fascinating, and has a good rhythm. The setting and feeling of a room is evident in the narrator's descriptions and the character's dialogue.10. Irony: An example of situational irony is Kay almost becoming a victim of the killer instead of capturing him. The reader expects Kay and her colleagues to solve the murders and capture the killer before he strikes again. Instead, the killer goes after Kay.11. Symbol: The only apparent symbols are the rituals that the killer performs while murdering the women. The killer ties the women up on their bed, slices their nightgown from collar to hem, enters through a window, and leaves a substance on their bodies that sparkles under a laser.12. Style: The novel has an even balance of dialogue and description. The book is divided up into 16 well-sized chapters with well-written sentences. There is also good imagery.
