Awful. I tried. Just couldn't get past the point when Marino was waiting for her to come out of the house. I won't get another. Glad I checked it out form the library and didn't waste money on it.

Dust. The Dr Scarpetta of old is back. Great read.

Dust. Too soon after the terrible tragedy in Connecticut to put it in a book. Kay Scarpetta is not fun to read anymore, the story lines are boring, the killers gruesome and everyone in the story need to snap out of it. An amazing author that needs some fresh happy characters.

Another great Patricia Cornwell book. Great Scarpetta novel! Just as all of Cornwell's are, with all the usual characters. Great read!

Disappointed. I struggled to get through the book. Way too wordy on the way to the plot. The detail of ever scene was way over the top and wandered all over the board. Seldom make a comment on a book but this one was so bad felt I needed to.

Dust. What chore to read. I usually lover her stuff!

Dust. Good read like some of her older books.

From a medical professional. Awesome read! Cornwall doesn't disappoint with her newest book.

Dust. Very boring,did,nt even want to finish it! Won,t buy any of her books again!

Dust. I don't write many reviews and I'm not overly critical as long as the story keeps me interested. Unfortunately I had to force myself to finish this one. It never got off the ground for me. Very boring with a lackluster ending to boot.

Subpar for PC.. Have read at least 8 Patricia Cornwell novels most starring Kay Scarpetta. They ranged from very good to great. Not this one. It was ok and I read to the end just to get there. To be honest I don’t believe Cornwell wrote this book. Style was different, lack of focus and most jarring the main characters were not likable any more. Kay Scarpetta’s ego no longer fits in a circus tent ( every man desires her and she’s always the smartest person in the room if she does say so herself and she does say so often.) Lucy is smug and unlikeable and Marino is now the old guy screaming at kids to get off his lawn. Also the local descriptions were excessively wordy adding 30 pages that didn’t move the story. Again it read as though written by a ghost writer. I have enjoyed this series up to now but will probably pass on future efforts by Ms Cornwell. Did give three stars as the story was fairly interesting.

Great!!. Patricia Cornwell never disappoints! Can't wait for the next adventures of Kay, Benton and Lucy!

What Happened To Patricia?. The Postmortom Patricia? I just cant justify paying for her work any longer.

Ok-. Ok but really, evidence tampering is evidence tampering- both Granby & Lucy should have both been arrested Does not flow well, but ok

Dust. I usually can't wait for this author's next book; however, I was very disappointed when I read it. The ending was weird and I just couldn't get into this book. I put it down several times, and I had to make myself pick it up, hoping it would get better...not! I guess every author can write one not up to the public's expectations!

Dust. Another good Scarpetta read. Cornwall always researches her medical info so well, but this one is not as suspenseful as previous ones. A tad disappointing after waiting so long to visit with Scarpetta, Benton and Marino again.

Dust. Not Cornwell's best Scarpetta novel but still pretty good.

Dust. Not a very good book. I wasted my money buying this book. I will not buy more of her books . Just stick with James Patterson one of the best writers today. Ben Dendy

The Dust. I enjoyed the book, it was well written and was a page turner.

Dust. One of her best in awhile. Great writing. Plot hums along. I enjoyed it.

Dust. Yes, I read the reviews and bought it anyway. Very, very slow. I am making myself finish it. Will let you know if it gets better. OK, I skipped a lot. The ending was good but it was painful getting there.

Well.... I have read every book in this series, the AndY Brazil and Win Garano series. I had hoped that this one would be better then the last two. But not to be. I feel as the writer’s bordom with the charater is showing. The books use to not have such a cookie cutter read.

Enjoyed very much. This was my first read by this author and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I was pulled in the detail and imagery. The story is well written and easy to follow. I enjoyed the complexity of the well woven plot and length of the book made me feel like I got my monies worth.

Overboard. I used to love the scarpetta novels - not this one. The characters are getting old and cliche. There are too many details about mundane items that takes away from the story. Sorry Kay, Lucy and Marino.... I won't be reading about your next location

Getting old. I haven’t read any of Cornwall’s books that I really used to like. Then they got more into their feelings and desires of each character and it just got old. I thought I’d give this one a try and it seamed like the same story with different dead people.

ER doc. Once again I am disappointed by this latest novel, having been a fan since reading her first book while a medical student in Richmond, VA. The novel starts out interesting enough but then just gets boring. When the cases are finally solved, it's as if the murderer was just thrown in all of a sudden. Her books are getting worse and worse.

Dust. Pat Cornwell never disaapoints

The Dust. Awesome, as always! I couldn't put it down, and as happens when I'm reading an exceptionally good book, I was sorry to see it end!

Dust. I've read all of Patricia Cornwell's books and this was a bit flat. It felt like she was just cranking out another novel. I love the Kay Scarpetta character but I think Ms Cornwell sold us short this time.

Save your money. Save your time.. A struggle to read. Story line very hard to follow. The author feels the need to interpret the dialog as it unfolds...very muddy and almost zero entertainment value.

More. I have read the entire Scarpetta series and loved them all; however, this left me feeling like there should have been more...

Dust. Love these Kay Scarpetta books and the character development of all of the players.

Great Book, one of the best in awhile. I have been a fan of Patricia Cornwell's for many years now and addictively read each one as they are released. It pains me to say that I haven't been to happy with the last few Scarpetta books and actually have considered not reading the next to come out. But this one is great. It pulled me in and wouldn't let me go. I care about all of the characters again. I would love to have a book come out that is based on Lucy. I would like to know more about Lucy and her life. Brava Patricia Cornwell! Brava! Can't wait for next one! :)

Another disappointment!. I used to love her stories. But the last 10 years her books are such disappointments. So surprised she can still make it to NY Times best sellers. I got to stop wasting time and money on her books.

Totally Engrossing!!. Once I started reading this runaway circus train of a story I couldn’t put it down. Kay is at her best. Benton is sharp, introspective and intuitive as a BAU leader. Lucy is devilishly clever. The unsub is wildly devolving. The action is nonstop and absorbing. You won’t be able to put this book down until your vision blurs! An absolutely fabulous read!!

Disappointed. If you have read her previous books and thought the characters were getting too whiney don't buy this one - it only gets worse. All the characters just come off as pathetic.

Great read!. This is a very well written book by Cornwell. It has a good plot and you do not know how it will end. I am surprised that others are negative. Do not let them keep you from enjoying this thrilling story!

Slow and uninteresting. The story was slow and uninteresting. Not a page turner and had to force myself through it. Pretty disappointing read.

Dust. Another dud, her second in a row. I will pass on Her next one.

Don't Bother. Have read many of her books, this one was a total disappointment. The story line was very disconnected and it just seemed to drag on forever.

As usual...outstanding!. What more can be said? A fantastic storyteller...

Interesting book. Very good!

Just ok. Too much descriptive writing that didn't add anything. In the end it seemed like the story had to end in like 5 paragraphs and it was done. Not a very entertaining story.

Dust. Ms. Cornwell appears to have migrated from medical mystery/thriller writer to technical writer. Not a bad thing but not what I expected. The Kay-Lucy-Benton trio have also changed, appearing not so much as investigative tour de forces but as product name-dropping conspicuous consumers. I’ve considered her menus, technology and geography lessons as story bonuses but now food lists and acronyms appear wantonly plunked in. I adjusted when the author switched to the first-person but here a first-person internal monologue/stream of consciousness narrative style didn't serve to reveal our heroine in a very good light. Throughout the book series, Dr. Kay Scarpetta has been portrayed as the beautiful, brilliant, intuitive, medical professional whose understanding of deviant psychology helped her become an ace (and apparently very rich) crime-solver. We now learn she's just returned home from Newtown. And we’ve come to expect things from her..... perhaps she'll offer insights. Not to be (nor to be connected at all to the main tale). What we learn instead is how shockingly pedestrian her internal monologues actually are: I'm so depressed about the Newtown tragedy. (Yes, Kay, and so are we.) I’m tired, I’m hungry, what will I make for the next meal, when will Benton get back, my niece is so fantastic, my sister is not, my mother’s not so great either, I need Merino's adoration but can’t get past his behavior to me decades ago. Plot, character development, personality insights were all sacrificed in favor of focus on self. And that, I think, becomes the disappointment. I kept looking over to my little dog’s pillow with the embroidered proclamation - ‘It’s All About Me’.

Slow read. I could not get into this book.

Struggled to finish.. The book dragged on and on.

Couldn't finish it!. The author goes on and on and on about her dead husband, her investigator, her own feelings. Very boring book. Very intense descriptions of thoughts and feelings, in the past, in the present, and on and on, that are full of annoying phrases and language. The book certainly doesn't get to the point. If you are looking for a good read, I suggest something else. I actually don't even give it one star.

Confusing. Boring. Repetitive rehashing of past. I also couldn't be bothered to finish this book. Sorry I spent the money. My sense is that the quality of this series has been leaching out over the last few books. This one is disjointed, verbose and tiresome. Time to retire this series.
