A woman has been atrociously raped and killed. Suspects soon fall on his husband (the sidekick Marino is deeply convinced). Too obvious to be real: life seems to be more complicated and intrepid Dr. Scarpetta accompanies us into the thrilling search of the final truth. Many other suspects follow on the stage, but (obviously), the truth raises only at the very final pages.
Probably this book has had a lot of imitations in the decade it appeared

First and last book from P. Cronwell

Not my kind of novel. There has been no investigation at all; too much indulgence on deathly details. A very slow version of CSI. It took me a whole month and a good measure of good will to finish it.

I love Kay Scarpetta. On the other hand, this book moves a little slowly. And there are so many characters with horrible names to keep track of! I got this as a gift and I loved it, but I probably wouldn't have picked it up for myself.
