Negative Positive
Title: Black notice and betes noires
Review: Once again Kay Scarpetta is pitched against the hidden monster with some arcane disorder; once again she is flung between law enforcement agencies both compelling and corrupt; once again she is threatened and vulnerable. But will she once again triumph? Here is Patricia Cornwell at her political best: she has matured as a writer and brings to the reader a consideration of the investigative process more developed than the early days of a few cobbled together FBI profiles. In Black Notice, Scarpetta has become smarter than her mentors and tutors: but is she smarter than the beasts, both real and remembered, that pursue her? Readers should not be disappointed.
