This installment of Scarpetta shows Kay offering her services pro bono the Medical Examiner's Office. In addition to helping solve the case there, she is working as a commentator on CNN, somewhere in the vein of Nancy Grace only much less irritating. (I cannot stand Nancy Grace.) Kay and Benton get a package that may contain a bomb delivered to their apartment. I am a little annoyed that someone wants to kill at least one of them in every single book. I highly doubt that everyone in this profession has this problem on a weekly basis like she does. She is starting to get a lot less likeable in my opinion, but not as unlikeable as Lucy. Lucy lets some secrets slip in this book, but it didn't help my view of her. The whole business with Marino in this book made me roll my eyes and sigh aloud several times. What was that?? Get serious.
