Scarpetta goes to NC to investigate the murder of a little girl thought to be a victim of Temple Gault's. Unfortunately, the killer is someone much closer to home. For anyone with children, this book is truly creepy.

A little girl in NC is dead and Dr. Scarpetta thinks that it is Temple Brooks Gault. ( )

Frankly, this one was very blah for me. The book was not so much about the case as it was about the relationships between Kay and Marino, Marino and Benton Wesley, Kay and Wesley, and Kay and Lucy. Oh, and Kay and her sister. Blah. Too much angst for a crime novel. And I figured out who the bad guy was waaaaaaaaaay early. ( )

Pretty good story with some exciting episodes. I cannot help but think that her affair with Wesley is unfortunate, and Marino's being taking in by the perp rather sad. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com (ISBN 0425220176, Paperback)

New York Times bestselling author Patricia Cornwell brings back Kay Scarpetta, consulting forensic pathologist for the FBI's Behavioral Science Unit, in her grittiest and most compelling novel. In rural North Carolina, the brutal murder of eleven-year-old Emily Steiner has shaken a small town. But more disturbing are the details of the crimes, chillingly reminiscent of the handiwork of a serial killer who has eluded the unit for years. Into this volatile atmosphere comes Scarpetta's ingenious, rebellious niece Lucy, an FBI intern with a promising future in Quantico's computer engineering facility--until she is accused of a shocking security violation. While coming to terms with Lucy, Kay must conduct a grisly forensic investigation at a clandestine research facility in Tennessee known as the Body Farm. There she will find more answers to Emily Steiner's murder--and evidence that paints a picture of a crime more horrifying than she imagined . . .
