Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good
Review: Was good but I missed Marino in this book. He didn't have much of a storyline and he is the one that gives humor to the Scarpetta stories

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Boring.
Review: Redundant in many technical explanations-and not so technical.Pat, do you really have to explain what every acronym means? I pitythe person who doesn't understand that AOL refers to America Online. Give readers a little more credit than that!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent. A must for all mystery readers
Review: As always Ms. Cornwell blends old and new characterstogether. I love the way the reader gets to see how some charctersgrow and some stay the same. Ms. Cornwell shows that Dr.Scarpetta has humanity for others by worrying about co-workers and near strangers.,This adds a special quality to this book and to all the Kay Scarpetta books.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: What a relief!
Review: After a disappointing showing with Hornet's Nest, hurrah to PatCornwell for a return to Kay Scarpetta. Not only does she decide tostick with the tried and true, but the development of Dr. Scarpetta as a woman with a real life (complete with love and loss) gives her readers something more to anticipate. I just can't wait to know what happens to Lucy's career.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An enjoyable read!
Review: Scarpetta remains one of the most compelling characters in all of fictiondom. I especially enjoyed the relationship between the good Doc and her niece Lucy. I believe Lucy could carry a book all by her self. Cornwell's blend of the Internet, a new virus and revenge was handled expertly. Marino continues to be another character that like. He is the perfect antithesis to Kay. I'm still not sold on Benton as her love interest or as a viable character in the series. I look forward to the next book in this series

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not one of Cornwell's best efforts.
Review: Patricia Cornwell's new book Unnatural Exposure is a majordisappointment. The development of the plot is senseless, and themain character, Dr. Kay Scarpetta, has become self-absorbed and implausible. For example, she continues to nag Marino about his poor personal health habits, but proceeds to walk unprotected into a house where a woman has died of a deadly virus which Scarpetta suspects is the same as the pox virus she had found in a torso she had just autopsied. How smart is that?

In another scene, Scarpetta has Marino come to her house in the middle of the night to see an alarming e-mail message she had received. The good doctor comes completely unglued when Marino moves a file and sits in her chair at the computer to view the message. Is this supposed to make us think that Dr. Scarpetta is a tough-as-nails, her-own-woman kind of gal?

It makes no sense that Dr. Scarpetta is exposed to the virus, unprotected, on three separate occasions and never comes down with it. Others do. It can't be because Dr. Scarpetta has such a strong immune system.she does come down with the flu during this time, but apparently is immune to the deadly pox virus. Right!

Maybe Dr. Scarpetta should look into early retirement options.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: WELCOME BACK, KAY SCARPETTA!
Review: Patricia Cornwell's latest novel, "UnnaturalExposure" marks the return of the Chief Medical Examiner, KayScarpetta, who is back in full force! Penned to reflect today's modern technicology, the book scared me like no other! The implications presented in the novel show some very possible and plausable problems of today! While the heroine, Kay, grows more interesting with each novel, her ever-faithful sidekicks still manage to grap some of the limelight! This book is fast paced, thought-provoking, and highly entertaining! I couldn't put the book down! Wonderfully written and well executed, "Unnatural Exposure" is a Total Knockout bestseller! Thanks, PC, for bringing our beloved Kay back to her faithful followers! Robin Miller

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Cornwell Can Write Great Mystery--I Wish She Would Again
Review: After "Hornets Nest" the return to Dr. Kay is reassuring. This book looks to be thrown together , and comes to an abrupt, and not very believable end. I see almost a disbain for her readers. Maybe Cornwelll should take a break--she has grown much to cynical and cavalier. P.S. Her remarks concerning Oprah and Stedman were unprofessional, and totally uncalled for.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: not her best
Review: patricia cornwell is most definitely my favorite author, BUT i have to say this book, although very good, was in no way near her best. we all know she is capable of a better book than this. i'm just glad i wasn't the only one who thought so! i mean come on! i think marino only said "yo" twice in the whole book! what's up with that? the other books had marino saying "yo" at least once in every sentence!! and marino and kay's relationship seemed distant and not as close as they had seemed to be in the previous novels. but all in all, it still is a pretty good story, for what it is anyway..

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent
Review: Are you interested in a new or a possible old re-emerging disease such as smallpox? The trail begins at your bookstore for this interesting medical detective Dr. Kay Scarpetta and her famous team. Will she and her team catch this and live through it
