Alle anzeigenI always feel like I'm among old friends when I step into a Scarpetta book. I first picked one up over 18 years ago. The methods and practices have evolved over time and there's a lot more technology being used for both the good and bad. I still think the earlier work was some of my favourites but I do enjoy reading the more recent ones too. This one sees a recurring enemy of the gang back on the scene, one that like a cat, seems to have nine lives. The Scarpetta series will continue to be a instant buy for me and is one I have re-read a number of times.TW - I will warn that there is details of child abuse in this book.
