Rating: Summary: Awful, pointless, disappointing first experience... Review: This my favorite Patrica Cornwell book that deals with her charecter Dr. Kay Scarpetta. There is some guy out there killing young couples in the Virginia area. The press seemingly always without imagination in these types of books has started to call him "The Couple Killer".With mounting political preasure Scarpetta has to do what she is good at...crack the case. Some people give this serise a hard time because Scarpetta spends most of her time doing the actual field investigations not really any forenscis work. I was fine with that and I respect the fact that authors couldn't sell many books if they just had the main charecter working in a lab all day. What annoyed me was Abby's charecter never in my entire life have I actually been praying for the bad guy to kill one of the charecters. Did she always whine so much? All the other members of the supporting cast I liked Morino, The old black guy even the couple killer. They all had depth, life and a sense of humor. I had only read the first and one other in this serise. I plan to go get some more. I suggest you do the same.
