In this novel, Kay Scarpetta returns to Richmond in Virginia after five years to help the new Medical Examiner solve the case of a young girl found dead in her bed. The Medical Examiner is not all he seems and shows incompetence and has a few skeletons in the closet.Benton Wesley is in Aspen trying to solve a criminal attack on one of Lucy's friends. Neither of these are my favourite characters and I prefer the interaction between Kay and Marino so they were better off in a different location for me!
This novel seems to meander along and does not really have the bite and freshness of the early Scarpetta novels.

6/10 for me and only because I like Kay Scarpetta and Marino and I want to know what they are up to!
