Publisher's summary

Late one night Beryl Madison turns off her burglar alarm, puts down her gun and opens her door to the man who has stalked and terrorized her for months. Hours later, her brutally mutilated body lies in the city morgue. As Scarpetta begins searching for the microscopic clues to the killer’s identity, one question keeps nagging her: why did Beryl let him in?

Decent story

Not too fond of the homophobic cop but I suppose there will always be one lurking somewhere. Also, they sure smoked a lot in this book! The story was a good one though, and the narrator did a good job.

Great novel

This is another great novel by Patricia Cornwell. The narration was wonderful as well. My only complaint is that at times it sounded like the narrator was working in a call center. I heard a lot of background talking and noise. It was a little distracting, but thankfully did not go on through the entire reading.

Great follw-up

This is a great follow up to the first book. You can really experience how the relationships between the characters are developing. This book would make a great movie.

Mysterious and Interesting

This book has been very interesting, heartwarming, mysterious and with a little romance all rolled into this wonderfully written and narratored book. Well worth sharing and I look forward to finding more from this author and narrator.
