Scarpetta

I am halfway through the new Patricia Cornwell book Scarpetta - the 16th book about fictional Medical Examiner Kay Scarpetta. This was a Christmas present from my wonderful hubby and I have spent a lazy Saturday afternoon with my nose in the book.

I must say this book is much better than the last 2 or 3 in the series. I have been disappointed with the last few books, mainly because Cornwell switched from 1st person narrative to 3rd person. So far, this book is holding my interest! Here's the book trailer - check it out for yourself!
