Loading... Predator (2005)by Patricia Cornwell
None. In the beginning I was a little bit disappointed because it wasn't so fast-paced like the other Scarpetta's. It took me a little while to make all the links, probably because it looked like their were a lot of different cases, which weren't related so obviously. Nevertheless after the first third the pace took up and it was getting enthralling. Due to the fact that the main characters have got major problems with their relationships and faith in each other it kept me guessing until the very end how the outcome will be. (  ) Ameise1 | May 7, 2013 |  Maybe because this was a bridged version, but I found the ending crazy -- suddenly the 'bad guy' is caught and the case is solved and you find out how all the pieces fit together as the characters recall the events instead of witnessing them unfold. Poor storytelling, I think. This book doesn't work too well in audio form because there are too many POVs and the dialogues lack tags, so it was difficult to figure out what was going on at times. Okay as a thriller/mystery, but not great on the literary front. (  ) LDVoorberg | Apr 7, 2013 | pretty good book. this is an older one, but still one of the scarpetta series. it was good and i got totally tied up in as usual. this one takes place while they're still in florida which was interesting to me as well. the end seemed a little quick but it did answer all the questions. but she has grown as a writer since then. scarpetta stories are always a nice escape for me.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0425210278, Mass Market Paperback)Scarpetta, now freelancing with the National Forensic Academy in Florida, digs into a case more bizarre than any she has ever faced, one that has produced not only unusual physical evidence but tantalizing clues about the inner workings of an extremely cunning and criminal mind. She and her team—Pete Marino, Benton Wesley, and her niece, Lucy—track the odd connections between several horrific crimes and the people who are the likely suspects. As one psychopath, safely behind bars and the subject of a classified scientific study at a Harvard-affiliated psychiatric hospital, teases Scarpetta with tips that could be fact—or fantasy—the number of killers on the loose seems to multiply. Are these events related or merely random? And what can the study of one man’s brain tell them about the methods of a psychopath still lurking in the shadows? (retrieved from Amazon Fri, 04 Jan 2013 01:00:09 -0500) Kay Scarpetta and her colleague Pete Marino investigate the case of a man killed by a shotgun blast to the chest, while a woman is trapped in an abandoned house in the South after being kidnapped by an unknown captor. |
