Story
It's June in Montreal, and Dr. Temperance Brennan, who has left a shaky marriage back home in North Carolina to take on the challenging assignment of Director of Forensic Anthropology for the province of Quebec, looks forward to a relaxing weekend in beautiful Quebec City. First, though, she must stop at a newly uncovered burial site in the heart of the city. The remains are probably old and only of archeological interest, but Tempe must make sure they're not a case for the police. One look at the decomposed and decapitated corpse, stored neatly in plastic bags, tells her she'll spend the weekend in the crime lab.

In this first title of a new mystery series, Cornwell introduces us to a dynamic trio of crime solvers in Charlotte, North Carolina: Andy Brazil, an eager young reporter; Judy Hammer, the city's police chief; and Virginia West, Hammer's deputy and a genuine head turner. They're after a serial killer who pulls male out-of-towners from their rental cars and then mutilates, spray paints, and shoots them, in that order. What the trio uncovers jolts them like the sting of the hornet - Charlotte's symbol.

Not to bad
The first chapters are amazing when Dr Scarpetta is really active on the fields. But halfway in the story till the end it’s slow and mostly repetitive without any action. Narration was amazing though. I think Bringing back old ennemies in the story was a mistake same as having the same old threat with the cat door trap being controlled by the ennemies. It’s déjà vu and I would have appreciated something new.. not something from the former books… anyway I even have had a nice time listening to it overall. Not sure it worth a credit. Better wait a sale next year to buy it if you’re not planing to listen to it now.

Ok, but
I like all the Scarpetta books, but the Dorothy story line felt unnecessary to me. The character is extremely unlikable and I lost patience listening.

It took me a long time to adjust to the reader
This is far into the Scarpetta and Lucy story. This reader seem to choose a very adolescent voice for Lucy, where some of the previous readers have had her low pitched and grim and/or masculine. I got used to the reading but throughout didn't enjoy it.

Not worth the credit
Story was beyond ridiculous and just kind of ended - I had to check to see if I missed some chapters or something. Rehash of characters made this eye-rollingly boring. Voices for Lucy and Dorothy were incredibly annoying. Really disappointed in this one.

Can't stand this series anymore
Used to like the Scarpetta novels . But have found in the last few novels how there seems to be a left leaning undertone to the novels. Can not just be a good story anymore. Will definitely not be making the mistake of buying any more of these books
