Product Description:
Now freelancing from south Florida, Dr. Kay Scarpetta returns to Richmond, Virginia, the city that turned its back on her five years ago. Investigating the death of a young girl, she must follow the twisting leads and track the strange details in order to make the dead speak-and to reveal the sad truth that may be more than even she can bear.

I am not sure what has happened to this truly amazing writer's books---- this work plus those that followed have lowered the bar of excellence to the ground.

Since I have a Kindle that worked 4 times I am unable to read or review this book. Of course I did pay for it.

Dr. Scarpetta is on the trail of a killer again. This time, a mere trace of evidence, a trace so small, most would never find it, is the key to solving the mystery killer of a young girl. Politics, blue tape, and uncooperative assistants make finding this trace nearly impossible. The characters are well-developed and intriguing. Sadly, the mystery involved in solving the crime is not very challenging to the reader, and leaves some readers feeling dissatisfied. Because of this, I don't plan to give the other Scarpetta mysteries a try.

Why, oh why did Patricia Cornwell write this book in the present tense? This strange affectation makes the story harder to follow and much less enjoyable than anything of Cornwell's that I have read before.

I'd never read a Patricia Cornwell before, but someone had recently recommended her books. So when I saw TRACE for sale, I bought it and read it.
The story was quite good. But there were so many holes, like "uh, did I miss something" where I guess that's her style that you're just supposed to figure things out.
I really hated the character Lucy and wished the murderer would kill her too. Oh well. Maybe these are characters that loyal readers have come to care for, but I wanted to push Lucy off a cliff, Benton & Henrietta too for that matter. How does a smart woman like Kay Scarpetta get all these losers in her life?
Very good plot, satisfying murder mystery, interesting characters. I'd read another of Cornwell's books, but I think I'll start at the beginning.
