Okay - this was the worst Scarpetta book. I wanted to like it but it seems all the characters have become annoying caricatures. And in addition to that, the story was incredibly confusing. We have an evil criminal called HOG - The Hand of God, suicides that were actually murders, a scientific study Benton is running on the brains of serial killers, problems at the forensic center in FL.... Which is tied up in the end, but not in a satisfying way.

And my biggest gripe = Scarpetta is attacked (not a surprise - happens a lot) and then we jump to a new chapter where she and Benton are driving along as if no big deal. Then we go quite a ways more in the book, before Cornwell sums up the attack in a sentence. Huh?????

The book left a bad taste in my mouth
