3.74 AVERAGE


Un livre qui résonne plus drôlement post-covid, mais tout de même une intrigue originale (surtout si on tient compte du moment où il a été écrit).

This book kept me reading, I really wanted to know how it ended. I enjoyed the themes of the serial killer and the virus.
||I hope they catch the serial killer in another book. While I enjoed how the thread of the virus was incorperated, I cannot understand Scapetta running around while being sick. Yes, she checked herself for a rash, but that rash does not only develop overnight.||


A potentially deadly virus. Some closure for Kay, but various plotlines unresolved.

Celebrated the end of grad school!

Nobody does forensic detail like Cromwell. The technical stuff can be very boring at times but the viral epidemic angle and the evolving relationships in Scarpetta's life made for interesting reading. I do find Scarpetta's ability to go wherever she wants whenever she likes seemingly with very little red tape quite unbelievable but I can understand Cornwell wanting to create a female character with the same agency as men.

Es un libro que me ha gustado, y pese a que el final me ha gustado, para nada esperaba quien era el “asesino”.

Not my favorite so far, and the ending was disappointing... but can't wait to read the next one!
