Narrator

This narrator has an amazing narration and main character voice. However, the voice she does for the main cop hurts my ears. I feel that its intentionally shrill like this. This type of voice should only be used for characters the author wants us to dislike, or for infrequent characters. I want to stress that her main voice overall is amazing. It is only this frequently recurring male cop that is ruining the audio book for me.

great story

I enjoyed this book I didn't like the man's voice being done by a woman I really liked going back to when there was no computers and looking for phones and how we did things before we got this information age

Review body of evidence

Great read I would definitely read more from this author. Kept you wondering the whole time. Good story line.

Enjoyed this! Glad characters are in follow up books

Enjoyed this second book in the series.
I read other reviews that pointed out the datedness of the book. I’ll say what I noticed most about how this was a bit dated was the smoking… they’re smoking everywhere! As well the ‘newness’ of homosexuality, a little bristly at times, recognizing how far we’ve come, in my world anyway. I’m in my sixties so the subject and how it’s treated isn’t shocking to me; sort of interesting to contemplate then and now.

Another great Kay Scarpetta read

Glad I was able to pick this one up in the Audible Plus section. Great story and I really enjoyed the narrator’s readings - especially Pete Morello!

A solid read but keep in mind the date it was written

Loving this series but the cringe and shock I feel at times from the outdated language used (especially regarding the LGBTQ+ community) was intense. So a trigger warning of sorts for anyone picking up this series. That and the constant smoking.

Too much back ground noise

I love reading Patricia Cornwell’s books, great character development and easy reads that pull you into thinking ahead of the mystery to try to figure it out. Keeps you thinking.

However this was my first time listening to one of her books. There was annoying background noise all the way through the book. It sounded like people taking! I listen to books on long walks or runs and I found myself stopping and looking behind myself thinking that people were behind me….. very distracting and annoying. Very hard to ignore. Unfortunately I could not enjoy this book as I normally enjoy her books.

I read other reviews and some also mentioned this. I thought I would be able to ignore it, but unfortunately study you truly cannot.
