“The Scarpetta Factor”
by Patricia Cornwell
2011 Book Review #55 The 17th entry in the popular Scarpetta series finds the Massachusetts Central Park and finding suspicious similarities to a case of a missing financier.
She also, must contend with a suspicious package delivered to her apartment, the possible theft of her BlackBerry, menacing communications from a former psychiatric patient of husband Benton, and the reemergence of notorious characters from past cases.
Never-before-seen glimpses into the innermost thoughts of key characters Pete Marino, Benton and niece Lucy Farinelli, intensify the plot.
Verdict… A finely crafted, pulse-racing thriller that readers won't want to put down. Scarpetta fans will notice more pages devoted to character development and less to the autopsy room.
My Thoughts: I think the complexities of the plot were confusing. I prefer the original Scarpetta books when Scarpetta was in the autopsy room solving mysteries with forensics.
