Summary: Renewed Hope: Some People Can Still Write
Review: I must say, this book captured my attention. I finished Black Notice only a few minutes ago and remembered Patricia Cornell's newer books were being slandered. I must say, I find each Scarpetta novel get better and better. Her old works are interesting, especially because Benton is still alive (personally, I thought no one would be able to replace Mark's character.) Though, as the storys progress, Kay's life begin to work in a downward spiral, and people can't stand seeing their heros in such a form.

Though there is not much joy in Kay's life anymore, after Benton has died, Lucy is still fighting to become better then her Aunt, and others are trying to ruin her job, it gives the reader more of a 'real' sense. That Kay doesn't have the perfect life we all wish for, it gives us something to relate to.

If you've never read a Scarpetta book, I suggest you pick one up, but as far as this one goes, its the best since the three books on Gaunt.
