Summary of this Book...
A serial killer is stalking and murdering women in Richmond, Virginia. Medical examiner Kay Scarpetta is trying desperately to catch the killer before he strikes again.
This type of Book is good for...
those new to forensic crime novels.
I especially liked...
how the novel kept me guessing right up to the end.
I didn't like...
the characters felt a little flat to me at first. There's the stereotypical cop, reporter, etc. The characters could have used a little more depth and personality.
When I finished reading this Book I wanted to...
continue the series. I'm curious to see the development of this series of novels.
The author of this Book...
Patricia Cornwell is a bestselling author and led the way for novels of this type.
I recommend this Book because...
It's good for those who are newer to crime novels. It's a good novel to introduce someone to the exciting world of criminology and forensic science.

Further Comments...
The reason I say this novel is for beginners is because this novel was written in 1990. There have been many great advances in science since this novel was written, so its technology (especially regarding DNA in criminal cases) is very outdated. For someone who reads a lot of crime novels, this may get annoying.

Though the technology of the novel doesn't reflect 21st century advancements, the novel is worth the read.
