Four young women have been found murdered—tortured and strangled in their own beds—all victims of the same brilliant monster. Using a skilled hand and the latest technology in forensic medicine, Kay Scarpetta begins the process of gathering the microscopic clues the latest battered body has to give.

I didn’t realize when I selected the book that it was written in 1990. References to technology was so old it made me laugh. Story in general was interesting enough and the performance was good. I will pay attention to when books were written, going forward.

Dated but okay

This was an enjoyable book, but it is clearly a reflection of the time in which it was written; it’s a nice throwback to a simpler time, technologically, but there are other aspects that make it a little cringeworthy, especially all the smoking references, and providing alcohol to a minor. It was a bit predictable, but again, this was the first novel, and I look forward to carrying on in the series.

I enjoyed the characters, wingo, Marino, dr K. Liked how the story ended. I also like the little bit of medical references in the autopsies. Decent read, I’ll try the next book while it’s free
