A serial killer goes after her niece Lucy. ( )A decent mystery, but I thought that the ending was a bit abrupt. Typical Scarpetta mystery. Not her best. Not her worst. Most of her main characters are still unlikable, except for Pete Marino. That guy is growing on me. This novel trips over the surface of the story, the characters, the mystery itself. There is just enough information about each of the characters to give an outline of each, but the omissions do not enlighten in the way, say, Carol O'Connell's do. The main characters are not imperiled enough to create real suspense. The murderer is introduced early and it is obvious that he is such; he does not possess a particularly interesting pathology and presents no challenge to his pursuers. Skip it. Bored by page 100. Same old ... Couldn't be bothered to read further - too many other good books to read. 0.078 seconds to build listing no reviews | add a review
