Dr Kay Scarpetta is now in Florida rather than Virginia looking for a bit of peace. However she is soon embroiled in another series of murder investigations.Scarpetta lends the limelight in this novel more to her irritating niece Lucy. The novel also sees the return of some earlier characters including Benton Wesley (how little I missed him) and the killer Chardonne.
Chardonne has escaped from prison and is back on the killing scene, even at the end of the novel he has not been caught so there is an opening for more from him in later novels.

Patricia Cornwell seems to be losing her way with the Scarpetta novels, a brilliant start with Postmortem but then the next few do not quite meet the dizzy heights then plunge down the scale.
This is 6/10 for me and that is being generous.
