Under cover of night in Richmond, Virginia, a human monster strikes, leaving a gruesome trail of stranglings that has paralysed the city. Medical examiner Kay Scarpetta suspects the worst: a deliberate campaign by a brilliant serial killer whose signature offers precious few clues. With an unerring eye, she calls on the latest advances in forensic research to unmask the madman. But this investigation will test Kay like no other, because it’s being sabotaged from within - and someone wants her dead.

Good read. Not too serious, a bit gory at times, but in context. I like the Doc, will be downloading the next book.

Enjoyable read.

Was expecting more. Narrations fantastic! The story just lacked something. Anyway can’t have a winner all the time!

Disappointed

I like this audio book and as it was her first book as well, I think it was a great glimpse into later books. It was a bit slow to get going but I think that is to show how all the main players being Marino, Scarpetta, Lucy and Benton fit in with each other. I recommend a listen to this audio.

I like the narration and story.
