Overview
Autopsies can reveal the secrets of the dead.
And this victim is sending Scarpetta a message…
Summoned to an abandoned theme park to retrieve a body, Dr. Kay Scarpetta is devastated to learn that the victim is a man she once had an intense love affair with.
The murder scene is bizarre, with a crop circle of petals around the body, and Giordano’s skin is strangely red. Scarpetta’s niece Lucy believes he was dropped from an unidentified flying craft. Scarpetta knows an autopsy can reveal the dead’s secrets, but she is shocked to find her friend seems to have deliberately left her a clue.
As the investigators are torn between suspicions of otherworldly forces, and of Giordano himself, Scarpetta detects an explanation closer to home that, in her mind, is far more evil…
Review
This is the first Patricia Cornwell book I have read in a very long time. I was really tired of Kay Scarpetta. It was nice to be reintroduced to this old friend.
Kay’s friend, Giordano, has just been discovered…dead. He was dropped out of an unidentified flying object over an abandoned amusement park. The crime scene is unnatural. The further Kay investigates the more she discovers Giordano is not who she thought.
I enjoyed how this story unfolded. As usual, Kay is her tough, no nonsense self. And she definitely does not take no for an answer. But this is what makes her such a great character. And as more questions than answers arise…she is the one you want on the case.
This is narrated by January LaVoy. Excellent job!
Need a good murder mystery with lots of intrigue….THIS IS IT! Grab your copy today.
I received this novel from the publisher for a honest review.
