The Scarpetta Factor

Patricia Cornwall

I loved the Kay Scarpetta series until they started getting to dark, too fantastical. Kay was a great character but I didn't feel much empathy or connection with her in this book. Her relationship with Benton, back from the dead, feels jury-rigged, not real. The amazing superhuman niece, Lucy, is starting to get a little out of control, but this is not well -developed or  believable. I paid 50cents for the book at the library sale, and enjoyed reading this story but glad I didn't pay more for it.
