Might give this to Mum to read.
A serial killer is on the loose in Richmond, Virginia. Three women have died, brutalised and strangled in their own bedroom. There is no pattern: the killer appears to strike at random - but always early on Saturday mornings. So when Dr Kay Scarpetta, chief medical officer, is awakened at 2.33 am, she knows the news is bad: there is a fourth victim. And she fears now for those that will follow unless she can dig up new forensic evidence to aid the police. But not everyone is pleased to see a woman in this powerful job. Someone may even want to ruin her career and reputation ...

Finished reading this book today. (Thursday 29)
The author hinted at diferent characters through out the book, so it was interesting to see who it really was.
It kept me reading to find out more info and who did it, and how they figured it all out.
Must admit that it did end kinda suddenly, with a small surprise that I didn't see coming.
I have Body Farm given to me by libertine101 ages ago so I know that I will enjoy that.

Classic Patricia Cornwell! It's been a few years since I last read this, so really enjoyed revisiting. Only problem is some of the technical details haven't stood the test of time too well - seems a bit dated in places.
Will be releasing in Norwich, UK where I am now to a friend of the family...
Cheers, Angela7715
