Narrative Supposing Books Point of Origin (Kay Scarpetta #9)
A farmhouse destroyed by fireA body amongst the ruins
Dr Kay Scarpetta, Chief Medical Examiner and consulting pathologist for the federal law enforcement agency ATF, is called out to a farmhouse in Virginia which has been destroyed by fire. In the ruins of the house she finds a body which tells a story of a violent and grisly murder.
The fire has come at the same time as another even more incendiary horror: Carrie Grethen, a killer who nearly destroyed the lives of Scarpetta and those closest to her, has escaped from a forensic psychiatric hospital. Her whereabouts is unknown, but her ultimate destination is not, for Carrie has begun to communicate with Scarpetta, conveying her deadly - if cryptic - plans for revenge.
Chillingly mesmeric in tone, labyrinthine in structure, Point of Origin is Patricia Cornwell at her most dazzling.

This was so good, but so sad. Definitely one of my favorites in the series so far.This one was TERRIBLE. So far, her later books are a lot better. I don't expect much from my guilty pleasures, but I would like some entertainment and not sigh and facepalm so much.Better review to come.

This was more of the same - but this is
***SPOILER ALERT ***I have been anxiously waiting to read this book for years; I've missed Kay, Benton, Lucy and Marino, it's been a long time. But, unfortunately, this book just fell short, on too many levels. I wasn't drawn into the story like I should have been, it just wasn't suspenseful enough. You'd think bringing Carrie back into the mix would have spiced things up, but it was the opposite, I was completely disappointed in how our infamous villain was addressed in this book. And don't
That's it! I'm done with this series, I can't continue along this road any further.
Another great story. You are kept wanting to hear more
