I was still excited to read this one, even tho the past couple were lackluster. after some meaningful Scarpetta/Marino interactions in the last book, their behavior distant &weird again. Lucy was a recovering alcoholic in the last 1, that storyline was abandoned &she had a random health scare that didn‘t get resolved & didn‘t make any sense out of her character arc. The crime itself was interesting but all the perspectives made the reveal slow AF

Helsky I remember loving the first books in the series. Then the writing style changed and I stopped reading them. 2mo
5feet.of.fury @Helsky agree. she changed the perspective starting at Blowfly & they have not been good since. The Last Precinct (right before it) was my favorite in the series. Before Blowfly I might have disagreed with some story choices or time jumps, but the books themselves were very cohesive… 2mo

This was a weird installment (#12) the narration in prior books solely follows Scarpetta… this follows… well, everyone. Too many people. It cycled through each perspective so quickly that no real tension is built. Very odd. I hope she switches back.

A great mystery where my opinions were constantly changing. I love procedural based books, especially focused on forensics. A solid start to a series. But wow, being written in 1990, this was certainly a blast from the past: smoking indoors everywhere and all the time; casual homophobia; limited technology (omg the computers); DNA in its infancy. I‘m excited to see how Scarpetta navigates through all of this as she solves new crimes as I read on.

I‘m finding it hard to focus on my current reads right now even though I am enjoying Love Interest (struggling with Immortal Longings), so I‘m starting the tagged book in hopes a mystery will draw me in.

5feet.of.fury Postmortem is a fun read, if only for the cutting edge 1990 technology 7mo
Kristy_K @5feet.of.fury Yes, first chapter in I had to look into the year b/c they were only able to identify blood type with human fluids and not DNA. Threw me for a minute lol. 7mo

Gave this series another go, but generally it doesn‘t wow me. Think other better series to focus on at the moment.

4th book finished for #20in4

TrishB I gave up this one a while ago. I think I got to about 12 or 13. 8mo
Andrew65 @TrishB I‘m starting to see why. 8mo
5feet.of.fury I‘m still going on them, but they are lacking in character development. 8mo

TheSpineView Bummer. Now you can focus on series you love. 8mo
Andrew65 @5feet.of.fury Pleased to see I‘m not alone in the thinking about the series. 8mo
Andrew65 @TheSpineView Yes, it does help whittle them down. 8mo
