Book Of The Dead By Chenault on - Updated Oct 15, 2011
I have been reading the Kay Scarpetta series since I was in high school. While browsing through the shelves of books in my library, I decided to read Book Of The Dead by Patricia Cornwell again, because I had only read this one once.
Immediately I was not really into the book. Maybe it's just me. I know that characters change and that is important to keep readers happy, but I really hate the changes to the regular characters in the Scarpetta series.
The Book Of The dead almost makes me wish Patricia Cornwell would just stop writing the Scarpetta series. I catch myself rolling my eyes and sighing as I read this book again.
Kay and Benton are finally going to get married, Rose and Lucy have cancer, and Marino has turned into a monster....
I also don't really care for the slight changes in Cornwell's writing style with this book.
In a nutshell, this book just isn't that great. It makes you wish the series would just end. In my opinion the earlier books in the series are much better and more entertaining.

You know I used to love this series and got burned out on them but if you like mysteries her Scarpetta books were pretty good. I don't think I ever read this one though.
