  <default_description>Now freelancing from south Florida, Dr. Kay Scarpetta returns to Richmond, Virginia, the city that turned its back on her five years ago. Investigating the death of a young girl, she must follow the twisting leads and track the strange details in order to make the dead speak-and to reveal the sad truth that may be more than even she can bear.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Cornwell is back on her game with the Kay Scarpetta.  After a couple of mediocre novels, Trace shows us the level of excellence Cornwell puts into her mysteries.  Scarpetta is back at her old stomping grounds, Richmond, VA to resolve the death of a 14-year-old girl.  Nothing is as it seems and the m...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/48356212">more...</a>]]></body>

I picked this up thinking I hadn't read it. I had read it. About 1/4 of the way in I remembered that this was one of the books t...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/38288697">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Some of the reviews I read of this book claimed that it was amazing and that Patricia Cornwell was back in top form with this one.  I didn't agree, I felt that the ending was anticlimactic and almost phoned in.  The congruent stories made for an excellent attempt at holding interest but the author e...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/52422728">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Strange to pick up a Patricia Cornwell novel after so many years - I gave this book only 3 stars because although it was nice to check in with the Scarpetta characters, the storyline didn't seem as original as some of her other books.  She's still the #1 crime/forensic science novelist though, and o...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/52905580">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This was the first Cornwell book that I read.  She was recommended to me as a great mystery writer.  Honestly, I was a little disappointed.  I don't know if it was because the book is in the middle of the series and I wasn't familiar with the characters and their stories, but I was kinda bored and f...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/54476727">more...</a>]]></body>
