Quick question for you guys...I started reading the Kay Scarpetta series years ago but can't remember which book in that series I read last. Should I start over or pick one of the others? What do you guys think?

I have read the series out of order and I don't feel like it matters.
Ingrid Bouldin
I'm in a similar situation...If I can't begin at the beginning of a series again, I prefer to at least re-read the last one I read, then continue sequentially with the series in order. Especially something like the Kay Scarpetta series since Pat Cornwell chronologically progresses the story line with each book.

I read whatever I can find, but it would be nice to read them in order!

She writes very interesting stories and I can't stop once I start. It doesn't matter which book you choose because they are that good.

Why are there only females answering this question?
I have read and enjoyed all of Patricia Cornwell's books except her children's book but including "Portrait of a Killer: Jack the Ripper—Case Closed" which I did not find compelling nor up to her standards.
I began reading her work back in the early 90s therefore have read in sequence.
I have a recurring concern: to me her endings always seem to be rushed and not as interesting as the body of each work. Does anyone else have that sense about her endings.
