Review
Cruel & Unusual by Patricia Cornwell, the fourth in the "Kay Scarpetta" series was a solid book with a little more edge than some of the others, hence the 4 rating. Two key parts of this one that appealed to me:
1. Scarpetta learns more about the prison system, in particular how a newly killed inmate's finger prints could show up on a dead body several days after the inmate died. The "gimmick" has been used before, but Cornwell keeps it tightly wound until the end of the book. It's a page turner, for sure. You think you've figured it out, but more details come out. And it gets very scientific, which really helps push you closer to the edge of not wanting to stop reading it. That said, the technology is almost 25+ years old compared to today's standards, so it's nothing earth-shattering at this point. It was something to read in the 90s to truly get the best impact. Still a good read today, I'm sure.
2. Kay and her niece, Lucy, continue to play the game of mouse and cat, so to speak. I'm not sure who is the mouse and who is the cat anymore. But what's fun here is that Lucy ends up helping on the case, despite the risks. And it call comes down to computers, which again, are much more advanced in the last ~30 years. Reading how people thought back then, how they interpreted and stored files, is amusing for someone in the technology field. I read this shortly after it came out but I was still very close to technology way back then.
The series is still solid at this point. And I'd recommend this read for someone who isn't too particular about tools and techniques in the fields of investigation, criminology, computers and DNA changing significantly over the years. Enjoy this for the puzzle it was at the time, not the slightly slower path it would be today. All in all, as much as she annoys you, Scarpetta is one of those people I wish I knew in real life. A bit too brilliant in some ways tho!

Sequels. They fascinate me. Some set off with a bang and no matter how many follow on in the series, still deliver the goods. Others fizzle through the second, whimper past the third and then lay down and die.
From the get-go I was interested to see which route Patricia Cornwell’s fine drawn and interesting characters, intricate plots and personal relationships would take. Well, all I can say is that as soon as I finished reading number four, I was waiting for number five.
It doesn’t get a lot better than that does it?

This is a well-written, entertaining, fast paced forensic thriller. It is a police procedural, with an intelligent, strong and capable female protagonist, murder, mystery, Ms. Cornwell's signature, dry wit, an appearance by the brilliant Lucy, twists and turns, and a satisfying conclusion. This novel can be read and enjoyed as a stand alone, but it is even better when read in order. I listened to the audio version of this novel, and the narrator, Ms. C. J. Critt, does an outstanding job depicting the characters and their personalities.

SPOILERS!!!!!
26/3 - One of my favourite Scarpetta mysteries and another that gets to keep its five star rating. It sets up a long-running battle between Scarpetta and Gault and her continuing problems with the politicians/her bosses. I had forgotten the way things, big things, happen 'off screen' so to speak and was practically having a heart attack when Mark's death was casually brought up which left me thinking I'd somehow missed a book. Then I remembered, things happen in the time that passes between the books, and I calmed down.
Lucy was my favourite character for a long time (I forget what happened with her from around book 10, so I'm not sure whether she continues to be my favourite, I'll see when I get there) and this is the first book where she really gets to shine and show her future potential. If she was a whiz with UNIX I can't wait to see how she deals with today's computer technology (I'm nowhere near up to date with this series, so no spoilers about what's happening with her, or any of the other characters, in the comments).
Anyone who knows me knows that I am concerned about climate change and can see its effect on Melbourne's (and the rest of Australia's) weather, the winters are getting shorter and warmer and the summers just keep getting drier but I still wouldn't want to live through winters like Cornwell's Scarpetta does. Melbourne's traffic is bad enough, we really don't need to add snow to the problem.
Throughout this book, and to a lesser extent All that Remains, Scarpetta is constantly paging Marino and then bemoaning the fact that he probably can't find a payphone to call her back, all I keep thinking is "I can't wait till he gets a mobile, it's going to save him and Scarpetta so much time and annoyance, possibly even save lives" (like in All that Remains when Pat Harvey has to go searching for a phone after Abby is shot, maybe if she'd had a phone in her pocket Abby could have been saved). Going straight to the (home) library for The Body Farm for bedtime tonight.

Cruel And Unusual by Patricia Cornwell is book 4 in the Dr Kay Scarpetta series and I think this is my favourite so far.
It's fast, dark, thrilling and extremely twisty.
I love how with each book the characters become more, also how each of the friendships grow with each book.
With this series so far I feel Patrica Cromwell has found the right technique to keeping us guessing and on the edge.
I'd definitely recommend this series 📓

This book made me feel like I'd missed a book between this one and the last one. I actually stopped and double checked because some very major things in Kay's life seemed to have happened between books and they are just sort of unceremoniously dropped in our laps. I hope these events at least happened to make way for other potential things to happen. I find the character of Kay, kind of unlikeable. She makes selfish bad choices and seems to only have time for people when she needs them to help her. Although I can't stand her niece, Lucy, either. I don't care how old she is, she is still a bratty child.
What I do like about this series is that time does move. IN other words the last case she worked isn't always the last case we read about. WHich doesn't always happen in a series like this. And it seems that the only person actually aging in these books is Lucy. Actually it seems like Lucy is aging faster than the time is traveling in the books, but if I'm not mistaken it's been 7 years since the first book at this point, at this rate Kay will be 70 by the time I get to where the series is now.
The case in this book seems to be a set up for a continuing arc. Although sometimes there is so much technical jargon, that I tune out. I'm not a computer person or a medical examiner and I don't plane to be. I like reading about the things people can do, but I don't need a play by p[lay. I mean the trick is always to make a job look appealing and make us believe you know what you are talking about, but its not necessary to actually teach us how to do things. Sometimes the book reads like a how to manuel. But i got of track- the main mystery of this book is so convoluted that I wasn't quite sure I understood what happened by the end.
I'm a big Bones fan and want to start reading the Kathy Reichs books, but until then this series seems like a poor man's substitute and I'll probably keep reading hoping they get better- plus they go fast. And I can't believe that they are all bad if people keep reading them...

Nine years ago, Ronnie Joe Waddell brutally tortured and murdered Robyn Naismith, a young news anchorwoman, in her own home in Virginia. He was arrested, tried, and sentenced to Death Row, where he sat until last night, when he was electrocuted in the electric chair. Waddell was dead.
Or was he?
On the night of his execution, a 13-year-old kid named Eddie Heath is found murdered by a dumpster. The body was mutilated and situated almost identically to Naismith’s body nine years ago. It’s either a copy-cat or Waddell was murdering people from beyond the grave.
Then, a few days later, a woman named Jennifer Deighton is murdered, and a clear set of fingerprints are found on a piece of furniture near her body. They belong to Waddell.
This is the puzzler presented to Chief Medical Examiner Kay Scarpetta in Patricia Cornwell’s novel “Cruel & Unusual”, the fourth novel to feature her protagonist.
Something really weird is going on, and, as always, Scarpetta seems to be right in the middle of it. Someone has been hacking her servers. One of her examiners has been acting strangely lately and is later found murdered. The warden of the prison where Waddell was serving is also found murdered. What the hell is going on?
Cornwell masterfully weaves a convoluted plot that you won’t be able to unravel until the very end. If you’re like me, you’ll immediately want to go back and re-read certain sections, just to gather clues. Read the book carefully, because Cornwell is one of those writers where every detail is significant in some way, even the red herrings.

Chief medical examiner, Kay Scarpetta, gets embroiled in another murder case when she is called in to perform an autopsy on a convicted killer named Ronnie Waddell who has just been executed on death row.
Things get complicated soon after when another unthinkable crime is committed, leaving a young boy dead and brutalized in the same fashion as Ronnie's previous victim. It seems to imply a copy-cat is on the loose - either that or the wrong man was just executed for a crime he may not have actually committed all those years ago...
This 4th installment has been my personal favourite of the Kay Scarpetta books I've read so far. I was intrigued by the premise and the whole idea that 'a convicted killer may actually be innocent' thing. It was interesting and engaging, and I liked how the story played out.
Sadly, I'm still completely uninterested in Kay herself. To me, she's such a flat, boring character; I just can't seem to find anything appealing about her. Thankfully, the more I read, the more I'm warming to secondary characters like Wesley Benton and Pete Marino, but even then, I wish my enjoyment of the characters was so much more established by now - I kind of figure, if I don't love them all by book four then I probably never will.

Number four in the Dr. Scarpetta series and for me the best to date.
I found this book to be a bit more of an on the edge of your seat type thriller that the other three.
I found the whole premise of the book intriguing. A death row prisoner is executed and the Dr. Scarpetta is called on to do the autopsy. Everything seems to be straight forward until fingerprints start turning up at the scene of recent murders that belong to the executed prisoner.
When the police investigate they find a lot of missing evidence from the office of the Chief Medical Examiner. Dr. Scarpetta finds the she is under suspicion. More information comes to light that further implicates Dr. Scarpetta.
With the help of her friends, Detective Pete Marino and FBI Agent Benton Wesley, Dr. Scarpetta embarks on a fight to clear her name and to discover how a man that she did an autopsy on is out there killing people.
This book took a hold of me right from page one and kept me held until the end. There's enough dead ends to keep you guessing and keep you reading.
Not so much in the way of solving by forensics. It's more about old fashioned police work.
An engrossing read and I give it a five star recommendation.

I forgot how much I enjoy Patricia Cornwell's Scarpetta series. I started reading them many years ago, out of order, and now I've gone back to the start to correct that. I think this is my favorite so far, probably because I just love her niece, Lucy. We find out quite a lot about her backstory and Kay's in this one. And I just love Merino more and more as I get to know him, too.
If you're interested in forensics, you'll likely learn a few things from each one of these books. The main characters have great chemistry and you'll laugh a few times as you read. Cornwell knows how to paint a picture with words too.
A dynamite series and really glad I decided to go back to the beginning and read them, as they should all be new to me from now on.
One note re the audiobook: CJ Critt is a terrific narrator for this series, but I got hold of one through ILL read by Donada Peters. Big mistake to have a British narrator. I love British everything and prefer British lit to American, but this takes place in America and Merino in particular just doesn't sound authentic with a British accent lol.

There was something slightly off-putting about this fourth novel in the Kay Scarpetta series. While key personal details were skimmed over, trivialized, and told post the actual events in past novels, in Cruel and Unusual, Cornwell killed off an important if not often seen character between books, dropping the news in an offhand manner and never actually dealing with it or its implications for her heroine. Granted, the focus of the series is not on Dr. Scarpetta's personal life, but, when said personal life becomes central to both the current case and the lead character's very personality, then the issues which shape Kay as a person need to be explored on a deeper level.
Speaking of Dr. Scarpett'a personal life having an impact upon Cruel and Unusual's cases, this seems to be a pattern for Cornwell: her heroine gets way too involved in her work. Given the nature of her responsibilities, their depth and weight, this is to be expected to a certain degree, but to feature Kay as such an integral part of every single crime – whether she's a potential victim, a victim's friend, or a suspect, by Cornwell using this approach too much, it's going to become staid and predictable. Rather, the plot device should be saved for special books, should be used sporadically, and should be something that is unexpected for readers. At this point, the question is just how is Dr. Scarpetta going to wind up in trouble this time?
Finally, despite multiple murders – some of which hit a little too close to home for Cruel and Unusual's heroine, the novel seemed to move much slower than some of Cornwell's other Scarpetta books. It wasn't really until the last fourth of the book when the pace seemed to pick up, when the suspense seemed to really pull in the reader. Plus, because of the nature of the clues – the hacking, the feathers, the average reader in all likelihood would struggle to follow their trails and could very easily get bogged down in all the technical jargon bandied about. Essentially, this novel wasn't as reader friendly for those who like to attempt to solve the cases right along with Kay. As a result, Cruel and Unusual wasn't as entertaining of a read. While the series' strengths are still there: the varied natures of the homicides, the friendship between Kay and Marino, and the great mix between science and psychology, there were more flaws to be found, the biggest of which is the fact that, at the end of this book, the murderer is still at large and, after more than four hundred pages, nothing feels resolved... whether professional or personal for Dr. Scarpetta.
Speaking of Dr. Scarpett'a personal life having an impact upon Cruel and Unusual's cases, this seems to be a pattern for Cornwell: her heroine gets way too involved in her work. Given the nature of her responsibilities, their depth and weight, this is to be expected to a certain degree, but to feature Kay as such an integral part of every single crime – whether she's a potential victim, a victim's friend, or a suspect, by Cornwell using this approach too much, it's going to become staid and predictable. Rather, the plot device should be saved for special books, should be used sporadically, and should be something that is unexpected for readers. At this point, the question is just how is Dr. Scarpetta going to wind up in trouble this time?

I read this when it was first released in the mid 1990s. I was in my twenties and I really enjoyed the mystery and the details. Back then I considered it a five-star book.
Revisiting this in my late forties has been an interesting experience. The current me would give this 2.5 stars.
The forensic details regarding trace evidence are tired, now, after decades of CSI:Everywhere and Law & Order:SVU. The UNIX details were like reading about the early days of telephony, woefully out of date.
But that's not the real problem. I would have still enjoyed the experience if it had just been dated detective work.
The real problem is that Patricia Cornwell writes with the pen of a bitter, catty woman. Scarpetta's voice is filled with derision for any character who is overweight, sexually assertive, devoutly religious, politically conservative. The killer who was executed at the beginning of the book for a brutal murder of a young woman is described in terms of compassion and/or pity. The overweight older married lady who lives across the street from a subsequent murder victim and takes cakes and cookies to her Neighbours is described with bitterness and cruelty. Her murdered neighbour is said to be "grossly overweight" but that she was "pretty in her leaner days." There are literally dozens more examples I could give of this wicked spitefulness spewing from Cornwell's keyboard.
But she's rich! And Smart! So in Cornwell's mind, Scarpetta is a worthy heroine.
These books were SO popular during the 1990s and 2000s, that I can't help but wonder how many people's psyches absorbed a steady diet of this acid and became twisted with hate aimed outward and/or inward. Because this book is just steeped in hatred for anyone who isn't a thin, smart white woman. (Okay--the ten year old boy wasn't treated too harshly for being poor, unless you count several mentions of how much his not-dead body stank.)
I am honestly glad I reread it, because it shows me quite a lot about who I was at 24 and who I am at 47.

So this one was better than the last one, but it wasn't anything I would recommend, unless you really was a middle of the road thriller. The plot of this one was a lot better and kept me more interested than the last, but it didn't go anywhere too surprising. I think that's been my issue with these books so far, the solutions never really have much impact on anything.
Kay as a main character is selfish and cold, Marino is a brute with no respect and Lucy seems the more normal/realistic of the main few but she's pretty bratty and annoying. Overall I didn't care about any of them.
The research that go into these books will always be impressive, but there were pages and pages describing how to tell the difference between feathers, a little tedious. I really don't know whether to carry on with this series, it's not that they are bad it's just whether there are things out there more suited to my taste, I feel like I am wasting my time reading these knowing I probably aren't going to give any of these above a three star.

WTF, I was mad for Scarpetta.
I did wish that there was a bit more emotion behind the explanation because it was such a heartbreaking huge deal, but some of the delivery was very removed.
I loved all of the ways that forensic science was used in solving the murders.
Serial killer, woo hoo.

I only really read this as I was sick the other day at work and needed some way to keep awake in the evening of my long day with nothing to do. With the small choice available in the staff room it was either that, James Patterson or the Twilight books. Tough choice. I'm very rarely without a book or two on my person so more fool me.
In the interests of disclosure I actually used to read the Scarpetta novels when younger (probably read about the first 6 or 7) but eventually gave up when I realised I didn't care enough. Much like Patterson's Alex Cross books. It was only at the very end of this that I realised I have probably read this before. That it took me so long to realise says a lot.
What I now remember is that Cornwell's prose is rather dull, bordering on tedious at times and unnecessarily bogged down in technical jargon (in this particular case, loads of talk about UNIX which becomes very annoying). It's all rather perfunctory as we cruise through the story which, though at times interesting, never really geared up any excitement or suspense. Everything plays out and then after a few small revelations it ends in an unsatisfying manner with little in the way of closure (leaving the way for the next 3 books she wrote to continue on some of the characters).
When you add the fact that Kay Scarpetta is actually quite an unlikeable character and her niece Lucy profoundly annoying it just makes it all a little difficult to engage with. I think I'll avoid reading any more of them again in the future unless really stuck for choice (nothing will ever make me read the rest of the Twilight books). This will be returning to sit on the shelves at work rather than my bookcases.

Cornwell’s fourth novel presents some of her best work yet. With twists and turns throughout, the storyline, Scarpetta goes through a gamut of emotions before the reader’s eyes. With the execution of a child killer, Scarpetta’s autopsy seems to be a foregoing conclusion. When called to help with the discovery of a murdered teenager, Scarpetta begins to probe deeper and discovers things are not what they seem. Could the executed man be someone other than the convicted killer? With added deaths, the mystery widens to the point that Scarpetta is tangled in a political web that could cost her more than the case’s easily resolution. Seeking the help of a long-ago acquaintance, Scarpetta tries to tie up loose ends before things slip through her fingers…
Cornwell, the master wordsmith, does wonders with her narrative description of scenery, characters, and situations, so much so that the reader can actually consider themselves one of the characters. Continuing her development of the character’s backstory, Cornwell does a wonderful job of treating the reader who has invested time in reading the series sequentially (this writer being one) to details building on revelations from one novel to the next. With the ongoing development of the relationship between Scarpetta and her niece, as well as Scarpetta and her colleagues, the reader can see a pattern and divine those relationships that will continue to play a central role in the progression of the Scarpetta series. With a powerful ending to the book, Scarpetta fans are left to wonder ‘what lies beyond?’ and posit that the drama has only begun.
Kudos Madam Cornwell. Your books just keep getting better and I cannot stop reading.

Binged this in a day. This was a reread for me and I loved it! (Again!)

This was my first Kay Scarpetta book, and I immediately needed to find out more, and read the entire series - the completist in me couldn't bear to have read this book, which introduces one of Scarpetta's key nemesis. A great hook of a premise and interesting supporting cast, but it's Scarpetta who's the star and soul of this book. Once I started the series, I re-read this book again 2 months later(!) and enjoyed it so much more now having context and understanding all continuity references... and in light of the recurring characters and villains suggest that this is one of those series where reading the books in chronological order is the key. 7 out of 12

The 4th book in the Kay Scarpetta series by Patricia Cornwell.
Dr. Kay Scarpetta is best known as the beautiful blonde Chief Medical Examiner for the Commonwealth of Virginia at Richmond. She is also known as one of the top forensic pathologist in the country. Along the way, the series also features FBI Profiler Benton Wesley, Kay’s genius niece Lucy Farinelli, and the unhealthy and balding homicide detective Pete Marino.
I really enjoyed reading the first half dozen or so books in this series and then I felt they went a bit stale. I will probably go back to series at sometime.

'Cruel & Unusual' is incredibly exciting! I couldn't put it down. I passed the last three days being tremendously entertained by book 4 in the Dr. Kay Scarpetta series!
Scarpetta is slowly recovering from the death of her unrequited love, Mark James, FBI agent, who was killed in a terrorist bombing in London in the previous book. She is going about her duties as Virginia's Chief Medical Examiner emotionally numbed. However, several cases of murder begin to interest her, especially since they appear linked to a killer, Ronnie Joe Waddell. He could not possibly have committed them, although his fingerprints were found at the various sites of the murders and the brutal manner of killing he had done were copied perfectly. But Waddell was executed by electrical chair at the local prison on the same day the first body mutilated in the same style as he was known to do is found!
Before long, other bodies are turning up, and Scarpetta is in the middle of the investigation by confused police and the FBI. Is it a copycat at work, or was it possible Waddell escaped from his cell and another man was executed in his place? Was Waddell's body, supposedly lying in the morgue, misidentified? And was important confidential information about Waddell's murder victim stolen from the morgue's computerized files about the case? Is someone on Scarpetta's medical staff breaking into her computer? Soon Scarpetta is being accused of a variety of felonies and malfeasance by her boss and she is being vilified in the front pages of the press! She is certain to lose her job if she can't find the mole in her department, if there is a mole, or maybe, even if she does uncover a conspiracy, she will still be out of a job from a lack of confidence in her abilities. The miseries keep piling up.
She remembers how her niece, Lucy, was able to track down a previous intrusion into her computer before (previous book), so reluctantly, she asks her niece to come up again to Virginia from Miami. Now seventeen, Lucy begins to crack open the mystery of whether Scarpetta's computer was secretly tampered with, but will she able to help before more people die, or save Scarpetta's job?
This novel is a wild twisting rodeo from beginning to end! I regret only one thing - it ends with an important plot thread dangling dangerously. So, obviously, gentle reader, I will be continuing to the next book in the series!

Scarpetta reminds me somewhat of Bones. But s more likable version. A little more human. I enjoyed this and the relationships she has was everyone, including her niece Lucy.

Ya know how the book you put on hold on Libby (that they told you would take 16 weeks to get to you) always gets to you as soon as all 20 regular library holds come in? Right? Never fails.
Welp. My Kay Scarpetta book came in from Libby. And since it is a Libby book I only have 7 days to read it (because even though the book is about thirty years old three people are waiting for it).
And here we are.
Golly friends, it was great to read a good book. I have been reading nothing but Lisa Gardner for a couple weeks. A slog. The last few books I thought maybe it was me. Maybe I was just being too picky.
Then I read this Patricia Cornwall and realized it wasn’t me ~ it was Lisa.
In this book Kay has to deal with a killer who was executed, but then (maybe!) he wasn’t and was killing again! Killing people close to Kay. What will happen!?
Now, there are things about Patricia’s books that bother me. There is a whole bunch of judging. You know ~ too fat, too thin, too poor, too rich, yadda, yadda, yadda. But then I remember how OLD these books are. Being a judging judger was more of a thing in the 1990s. Like still being able to smoke in restaurants, hospitals, and grocery stores. Still, Kay can come off a bit harsh. The thing about Kay is that Patricia Cornwall has given her readers a rich backstory on her. We know why Kay can be distant, or come off as cold. We understand it.
The plot is excellent. The pacing is solid. The entire story holds together.
This series is an oldie but goodie.

So Lucys's here! And it's excellent: The dynamic between her and her auntie Kay AND through her, Cornwell is able to explain a lot a lot a lot about computers; UNIX, AFIS etc.
I hope she goes far in this series and turns into something significant.
The murders are a plenty. And it doesn't surprise me that the answer is a copycat lunatic who gets his kicks from torture and killing. He calls into a tip line and that's how Kay figures him out, but ends up on the run so it'll be interesting to see in the next edition if he's mentioned at all.
The murders go really high up, so there are several people covering it all up. Therefore Kay ends up being accused of the murders but come on! That's just ridic and she gets out of it at the end :)
That's where the sad part about Mark's death comes into play. In between the 3rd and this 4th instalment Cornwell killed Mark off. So, in the story Kay made a huge withdrawal of money. They blamed her for paying off a witness, whereas the truth was, she donated it to the man who spent the last minutes of Mark's life with him.
So, in then end, we get the story of what happened to Mark and Kay's emotions come through as she has to explain it in words to people to prove herself innocent.
Loads of great stuff here, I just wasn't fascinated by it, so it's just shy of 4 stars.

Interesting story—I didn’t love the twist but I respect it. Less homophobia in this one but a fair amount of sexism, which I think it just reflective of the time it was written. I want Lucy to not be annoying anymore.

Resolução de ano novo: acabar de ler esta série que tenho cá em casa pendurada há imenso tempo.
Este "Cruel e invulgar" é o 4º livro protagonizado pela Dra. Scarpetta, e o que mais gostei até agora,
Está muito bem conseguido! Começa com a autópsia de um condenado à morte acabadinho de chegar da cadeira elétrica. Depois sucedem-se mortes criminosas e macabras. Num dos cenários de crime é encontrada uma impressão digital do condenado à morte, que já tinha sido executado...
Que se passa aqui?!?
Só descobri mesmo nas últimas páginas!
Muito bom!
