Title: Why didn't she kill off Lucy?
Review: Scarpetta needs to unload that weird niece of hers, who refuses to be happy, and get rid of that pathetic Marino, who will never quit smoking no matter how many autopsies he his forced to witness. And Kay - well she needs a new job that does not force her to arm her home like a fortress. Cornwell's cast of characters lack hope and optimism - an unpardonable offense to the reader. Former fans would be better served if Scarpetta were to forsake her scalpels and invest in a good set of carving knives so she good more fully attend to her prowess as a kitchen maven. Perhaps she could play on her noteriety as a Medical Examiner to build a following for a cooking school.By the way - just out of curiosity - how many of you know the name of the medical examiner in your hometown??
