content: I have read all of PC's books in the last couple of months. I really loved them until this last book. I have gotten tired of Lucy, tolerable of Kay at times, frustrated with Marino and adored Benton. I found this last story line hard to follow and there is not really any closure at the ending. I probably will not read any further ones. She has a new book out, I hope she has started a new story line. Kay Scarpetta needs to be retired!!
