I really liked the Kay Scarpetta series by Patricia Cornwell when I started reading it. But the last few books I've read have a lot more foul language. The characters aren't being developed as well as they had been. The technical forensic information is getting a bit too involved. Scarpetta's niece, Lucy, is always getting into disgusting situations; she has been a member of so many different federal agencies, it doesn't seem rational that one would let her go and another pick her up. Then she went out on her own, now I see in the next book, she and her aunt are starting over with another agency. Scarpetta's friend Marino has had such a strange transformation from tough city detective, to divorced cop who lets himself go, to a Harley hog. His mouth is constantly spitting out "f*** this or that". I'ld like to see the series get back to some stable relationships and lives that move in one direction at least for a couple of books instead of changing with every new book. And would really like to have the characters language cleaned up a bit.Read full review
Picking up where BLACK NOTICE leaves off, THE LAST PRECINCT finds Virginia medical examiner Kay Scarpetta under investigation for the murder of Chief of Police Diane Bray. As Scarpetta struggles to clear her name, two mutilated corpses are discovered by police. The murders bear all the hallmarks of the work of serial killer Jean Baptiste Chandonne. There's just one problem: Chandonne is in prison. It looks like Scarpetta has a copycat killer on her hands.
Interesting and exciting. Can be read as a stand-alone or as a continued series story.
