Title: if scarpetta loves them, cornwell kills them off!
Review: I've been an avid fan of Cornwell since her first novel but find she has made her leading character unapproachable and progressively more unlikable. The main shortcoming is the inability of Scarpetta to maintain any meaningful relation be it family or love interest. With little or no fan-fare she eliminates characters by killing them off. I worry about the fate of both Lucy and Marino.
