'Scarpetta' Review: A Tale of Two Timelines

So: Scarpetta. Somespoiler-free thoughts.

First, full confession. While Iam familiar with the source material, truth is that I came in way too late tothe Scarpetta series of novels by Patricia Cornwell to actually enjoy them—primarilybecause reading the first book (Postmortem, 1990) thirty-plus yearsafter it was first published was riddled with long passages about (now) veryoutdated technology.

Vince’s Quotes

“I remember one morning getting up at dawn. There was such a sense of possibility. You know, that feeling. And I... I remember thinking to myself: So this is the beginning of happiness, this is where it starts. And of course there will always be more...never occurred to me it wasn't the beginning. It was happiness. It was the moment, right then.”
― Michael Cunningham, The Hours
