After working one of the worst mass killings in U.S. history, Scarpetta returns home to Cambridge, Massachusetts, when she receives an unsettling call. The body of a young woman has been discovered on the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's rugby field and physical evidence links the case to a series of uniquely weird homicides in Washington, D.C., where Scarpetta's FBI husband has been deployed to help capture a serial killer dubbed the Capital Murderer.

Not even sure I can finish it... submitted by bookher on January 3, 2014, 2:30pm What has happened to Patricia Cornwell's writing?? I don't even know if I can finish this book because all she is doing is over-describing every single detail of every object, situation, person, blade of grass, etc... with as many fancy words as she can think of. I don't care that the sky is Prussian blue. She needs to describe to us readers what is happening not just what everything looks like. Her books seem to be getting worse and worse as she fill up page space with unneccessary adjectives.

not worth reading submitted by aunal on January 19, 2014, 6:52pm I'm in complete agreement with sabivy's review. Cornwell's first books were fascinating, and hard to put down. After a certain point (the Jack the Ripper book, I think) she decided, for some reason, to make her characters totally unsympathetic; Marino developed into a macho jerk with an unhealthy fixation on Scarpetta, Lucy has turned inhuman, and Scarpetta herself goes on and on and on with her repetitious ruminations, descriptions and speculations... I had not been able to finish her last several books, so I pressed on to finish this one. What a waste of time! The unconvincingly linked double plots come to unconvincing resolutions in the penultimate chapter, and the only motivation is provided through Benton's profiling. Really?
