In this first title of a new mystery series, Cornwell introduces us to a dynamic trio of crime solvers in Charlotte, North Carolina: Andy Brazil, an eager young reporter; Judy Hammer, the city's police chief; and Virginia West, Hammer's deputy and a genuine head turner. They're after a serial killer who pulls male out-of-towners from their rental cars and then mutilates, spray paints, and shoots them, in that order. What the trio uncovers jolts them like the sting of the hornet - Charlotte's symbol.

Her estranged father, the local medical examiner, has had a massive heart attack. At the hospital, she finds her father in near total denial of the seriousness of his condition.

Vain and charismatic Walter Sickert made a name for himself as a painter in Victorian London. But the ghoulish nature of his art - as well as extensive evidence - points to another name, one that's left its bloody mark on the pages of history: Jack the Ripper. Cornwell has collected never-before-seen archival material - including a rare mortuary photo, personal correspondence and a will with a mysterious autopsy clause - and applied cutting-edge forensic science to open an old crime to new scrutiny.

It's June in Montreal, and Dr. Temperance Brennan, who has left a shaky marriage back home in North Carolina to take on the challenging assignment of Director of Forensic Anthropology for the province of Quebec, looks forward to a relaxing weekend in beautiful Quebec City. First, though, she must stop at a newly uncovered burial site in the heart of the city. The remains are probably old and only of archeological interest, but Tempe must make sure they're not a case for the police. One look at the decomposed and decapitated corpse, stored neatly in plastic bags, tells her she'll spend the weekend in the crime lab.

Alan Gregory is a clinical psychologist with a thriving practice in Boulder, Colorado. His life begins to unravel when one of his female patients is found in an apparent suicide and the local paper begins printing accusations from an unnamed source of sexual impropriety between the woman and Dr. Gregory. He launches a psychological and personal quest for the truth that rapidly intensifies when more of his patients die untimely deaths, and Gregory suspects not only that the deaths are related but that another one of his patients may be somehow involved. Lacking facts but roused by suspicion and troubled by seemingly random acts of terror around him, Gregory starts to fear for the safety of the people he loves. The question of the inviolability of confidential disclosures made to Gregory by his patients - privileged information - becomes crucial as the psychologist pursues an unsettling romance with Lauren Crowder, a lovely deputy district attorney investigating one of the deaths. Bound to silence, Gregory follows the psychological tracks of someone he fears may be a cunning and disturbed killer, while turning to his enigmatic but supportive partner, Diane Estevez, for counsel, and to his tart-tongued female urologist neighbor for support. The sinister, surprising drama unfolds against Boulder's Rocky Mountain backdrop, in the arresting natural beauty of Aspen, and in the midst of a baroque Halloween costume party in downtown Boulder. Finally, in a lonely mountain lodge enshrouded in menace, the story comes to its breathtaking climax.

More shocking than the girl's injuries - for Maggie at least - is the fact that no one has reported her missing.

Reading
I loved the book and story was moving but the narration sounded like a computer was reading it. However this was the first time I have heard Karen White read. Overall it was a great read.

Atrocious narrator
I felt like Kay Scarlett’s was a wimpy whiny entitled woman rather than the intelligent competent woman we have grown to appreciate. So glad this was a one and done for this narrator !

Dr. Scarpetta does it again
Narrator is terrible but the story is another great one in the Scarpetta series. Listen at 1.25x speed and it’s better.

Narrator???
The story was great, the narrator not so much. I won’t be listening to anything she narrates.

Horrible Narrator
Enjoying the book but the narrator is cringe worthy. She's ruining the characters for me.

Point of?
The writing was a little too embellished with description of things that did not enhance the story

Amazing writing but horrible performance.
Karen White can only perform whinny or dramatic or both. It was painful to listen to this! Why why would you not continue having amazing C J Critt performing Dr Scarpetta???? Anyways, Patricia Cornwell is an amazing writer!

Great story, not a fan of the narrator.
Always great work from Patrica Cornell, the change in narrator is hard to adjust. Almost returned the purchase.

Very disappointing narration
I have been listening to all of this series back to back. I am very disappointed in the choice of narration for this book for multiple reasons. The original narrator, CJ, was absolutely amazing. She encapsulated the persona so well and reflected the writing in her tone and delivery. Unfortunately, the narrator with this story was very lacking for me. While she read the story very well, her tone and pitch and delivery were horrible. She made Kay sound like an emotional wreck just flailing through life. When it is specifically noted that she is very reserved and only shows her emotions and vulnerable side to a select few. I'm also really disappointed with the narration change because this was a very pivotal book in the series. A lot of things happened and I didn't even get to experience the story as part of the continuation because I was so distracted by the overly dramatic presentation of the book.
