Also, though I was current years ago, I have fallen way behind and am also a little "out of order." Basically, I like the characters and I like that I know about the characters. But I'm tired of hearing about the former (dead) characters (Benton, Grethen, Gault, etc.) and the running threads. I rather have the current group of heroes (Kay, Lucy, and Marino) solving crimes that are unrelated to previous books. (  ) gaturbev | Sep 19, 2009 | Do not like this book very well. The middle part contains too much interrogation. It is getting to the point that the only character I consistently like is Pete Marino. ( ) Darrol | Aug 1, 2009 | Kay Scarpetta, medical examiner, and Marino team up to prove her innnovence after Jean Baptiste (from Black Notice) trumps up charges against her. Eventually Scarpetta is fired/resigns. (  ) FMRox | Mar 11, 2009 | GREAT! GREAT! GREAT! (  ) nanajojo | Jun 23, 2008 |  no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 0399146253, Hardcover)A profoundly original book from America’s premier crime novelist! Follow international bestselling author Patricia Cornwell’s latest addition to the Kay Scarpetta series with The Last Precinct. This engrossing piece of fiction is woven through with the extraordinary forensic detail you’ve come to expect from Cornwell, with a palpable sense of fear that keeps readers looking back—into the past for clues, and over their shoulders for the next enigmatic act of violence.The Last Precinct finds Virginia’s Chief Medical Examiner Kay Scarpetta in the middle of a nightmare that began with Black Notice, and continues as she discovers the so-called Werewolf murders may have extended to New York City and into the darkest corners of her past. Scarpetta must struggle to make what she knows to be the truth prevail against mounting evidence to the contrary. By the end of the novel, it is clear that Scarpetta’s life can never be the same. The Last Precinct marks a new era for Kay Scarpetta and a triumphant achievement for Patricia Cornwell. You won’t be able to put this nail-biter down!
