About this listen

 Leaving behind her forensic pathology practice in South Carolina, Kay Scarpetta takes up an assignment in New York City, where the NYPD has asked her to examine an injured patient in a psychiatric ward. The handcuffed and chained patient, Oscar Bane, has specifically asked for her, and he begins to talk. He says his injuries were sustained in the course of a murder... that he did not commit.

Is Bane a criminally insane stalker who has fixed on Scarpetta? Or is his paranoid tale true, and it is he who is being spied on, followed and stalked by the actual killer? The only thing Scarpetta knows for certain is that a woman has been tortured and murdered - and that more violent deaths will follow....

I disliked
the romance parts between Scarpeta and Benton, if I wanted that i'd get a Mils and boon.
loose ends, pet shop owners and old woman accross the street from murder Victim just dropped out.
liked Marino coming back in.

I iked that there were a few suspects, it gets your brain going. Very easy to "see" characters. Terrific narrating once again.

Despite listening to this twice over I still feel it was difficult to follow - the third person narration often gets confusing.
While I enjoy the characters, I'd like to see some more robust action.
As always the performance narration by Lorelei King was impeccable.
