Title: Trace
Product review: This is the last Scarpetta book I'll be reading. I loved the early books in the series, but the story lines are old and just boring. The arch-criminal going after the hero made a good story 15 years ago, but every other crime novel rolls out this tired theme along with all the TV crime shows, from all the CSI type dramas to and including The Mentalist and Criminal minds. Lets get real the last thing REAL criminals want is to be caught and getting involved with a law enforcement person is the furthest thing on their agenda. This book would be great on CDs abridged down to 2 or 3 disks.It is time for novelists and crime show write to come up with a new theme or just get back to the good old Jack Webb story line of there's a crime, investigate, catch the criminal. For these writers it seems that there are "no new ideas under the sun."
