Reseñas de la Crítica

PRAISE FOR PATRICIA CORNWELL:

“Dr. Kay Scarpetta, who keeps us coming back to Patricia Cornwell’s sprawling crime novels, is one tough broad.”—New York Times Book Review

“Scarpetta is brilliant, compassionate and humble, excelling in her profession and in diplomacy."—Library Journal, Starred Review for Autopsy

Patricia Cornwell is a “masterful mysterian.”—Kirkus Reviews

“Everyone knows Scarpetta; she has the wit, intelligence, and strength that any forensic sleuth should own. This never-stop action plot is yet another gift to readers from Patricia Cornwell-a literary artist that is never going to stop writing some of the best and most memorable thrillers out there.”—Suspense Magazine

"Cornwell’s demonic plot shifts and changes almost page by page, so the reader’s spun round not knowing what to believe.”—Providence Journal, Praise for Depraved Heart

A lot of book for not a lot of story

I usually love the Scarpetta novels but this one was a lot of book for a resolution in about 2 pages. It felt like the author just needed to get another book out and this is what we got. And unless there is a tie in for a later novel, it just felt like she didn't have enough pages so threw in the Sasquatch aspect to fill time. Weird and felt totally unnecessary. Not Cornwall's best by far.

Great narrator, worst Scarpetta book so far

what more can I say? I own almost every Scarpetta hard copy and Audible version. As always, January LaVoy was fantastic as Kay Scarpetta. However, I have to agree with many reviews stating that it is almost more of a cookbook than anything else. the story did not come together at all and I was very surprised at the "seven days later," point. As disappointing as it might be, I think it os time to lay our beloved Dr. Scarpetta series to rest....

Excellent!

Loved it so much, reminded me of older books with Scarpetta! Glad she is back!

All of it!

I really enjoyed hearing more from Benton and how he was at Kay’s side more!

Not her best

I was disappointed for the first time by this Scarpetta novel. The narration was excellent, and the story line interesting, but it ended too abruptly! There were a number of unanswered questions, and I expected at least another hour to adequately wrap things up. Bummer.
