The Last Precinct
The Last Precinct: Scarpetta | Patricia Cornwell
10 posts | 38 read | 8 to read
Now Patricia Cornwell brings her millions of readers a novel concerning crimes with roots in a murder from the distant past. When Kay Scarpetta is mandated to investigate the 400 year-old violent death of one of America's first settlers at Jamestown, Virginia, it seems like the perfect match: modern technology's savviest avatar versus an age-old crime. Kay's involvement in the case attracts headlines, and more-the unwelcome ire of a person or persons unknown. Kay and those closest to her soon find themselves the targets of vicious hate crimes that are clearly inspired by her connection to the archaeological excavation. At first more nuisance than assault, the nature of the attacks quickly escalates to violence. Worse still, those sworn to protect prove to be the enemy, forcing Scarpetta, her niece Lucy, and detective Peter Marino to take matters into their won hands- torquing the rule of law and changing their lives forever. In a case ranging from an 18th-century murder to mortal risk in present day, The Last Precinct pits Kay Scarpetta against a rogue enemy who will stop at nothing to stop her.

not 100% sure what to think of Undertaking of Hart & Mercy yet, it‘s weird, it kind of throws you into a weird world with no preamble & miscommunication trope frustrates me. Pretty pleased with how far I made it into Shadowed Sun bc it is not at all light reading.
It‘s July 3 & I‘ve finished 4 books this month. Can‘t beat that 😂 Thank You @Andrew65

Andrew65 That‘s brilliant, well done and thanks for taking part 👏👏👏🙌🥳🍾🥂 9mo

A huge number of events & interactions that took this book out of the formula the series had been stuck in.

I mean Kay & Lucy are dramatic as ever and Marino is still a redneck 😂 but the characters got more complex, we got to see the emotional toll recent cases have taken & plotwise this had more twists than a bag of pretzels 🥨

Goals: finish Last Precinct, &Midnight Crossroad… long ago I abandoned this book- time to finish it or admit that Charlaine Harris doesn‘t do it for me anymore, START the Shadowed Sun. Undertaking Hart&Mercy is digital from the library I haven‘t started yet. I had Hooked (Peter pan smut) next but it‘s in Dutch? I don‘t know Dutch. Wicked King, at about 40% & will probably need a 2nd audio but can‘t think of anything to read 😂 #20in4

Andrew65 Looks like some great reading ahead, have a great Readathon 🥰
Might need to make some time for learning Dutch 😂

I decided to give up on waiting for beach weather 😂

Decided to jump back into the Scarpetta series, this pick up IMMEDIATELY from the last books end, which is quite a change from the previous books & I‘m really enjoying it, some of the things Cornwell left off page (including character deaths) or not writing how the characters processed the events made every1 seem erratic. Now the behavior is more in depth, heightened emotions etc

dabbe LOVE her books! 🤩 10mo
5feet.of.fury @dabbe I‘m working my way through Kay Scarpetta I‘m excited to get past Y2K soon 😂 I like them too, which is good since there is a ton of them 10mo
dabbe @5feet.of.fury Yeah, she's quite prolific, isn't she? 🤣🤣🤣 10mo
5feet.of.fury Lucy is a secret millionaire, and Marino‘s son is a “sleazy defense attorney” …the sudden reveals 😵‍💫 10mo

Book 11 in the Kay Scarpetta series and it was another solid story. Alot happening as always and I enjoy the fact the book picked up exactly where the last one ended.
I don't really like Scarpetta I find her far too self obsessed, but I'm fully submerged in the series now so going to continue with it and hope she gets her head out of her own arse 😂

"It's about not feeling. About learning not to feel because it was too painful to feel. You just shut down"

"It's never good to do that"
"Sometimes it's survival to do that."

I rarely ever read more than one book at a time but I'm struggling to read the Last Precinct so I'm motivating myself with chapters of Bewitched, Bothered and Biscotti in between. 😁😁#currentlyreading #multiplebooks #reader #bookishmom #crime #mystery
