content: I love the Scarpetta books. The charactors in these books seem so real, it is like you can get to know them and their habits. It almost feels like you become one with Kay, Lucy and Marino, you worry about what will happen to them next. I like how Jo's parents have to deal with her lesbianism, and how Kay tries to explain it to them. These books show just how screwed up this world can be, but how there is some good in the world, people just need to be more open minded. This book was a little bit more predictable than the others though, the plot leading up to what I knew would happen. I find that annoying, but still the book was very good. I can't wait for the next one to come out.
