 We have made it all the way to book sixteen in this series. This book finds Kay leaving the practice she literally just set up in Charleston to take a posting in New York. I found that to be extremely irritating. Once in New York, the NYPD request her help with a patience who is being held in Belleview Psychiatric Hospital, who has specifically requested to speak to her. She, of course, trots right over and listens to his tale. There are several other violent deaths in this book that must be solved, and the forensic and technological advances are on par with the timeline, as per usual. Lucy is back again, being annoying as all get out, and performing a cyber chase of a suspect. I feel as though I will never grow to like her character, but there isn't a lot I can do about that. This book was certainly an improvement over Book of the Dead, and I was glad to see it.
