Editorial Review:

Product Description:
"Killing me won't kill the beast" are the last words of rapist-murderer Ronnie Joe Waddell, written four days before his execution. But they can't explain how Dr. Kay Scarpetta finds Waddell's fingerprints on another crime scene -- after she'd performed his autopsy. If this is some sort of game, Scarpetta seems to be the target. And if the next victim is someone she knows, the punishment will be cruel and unusual...

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Audio Cassette Review
The book was much better. The abridgement was too much and took too much away from the story so that you never got a sense of the characters. It was like they set out to make it a specific length and hacked away until they could just give you a plot synopsis. I gave the book ****.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Forensically beautiful, yet disappointing,
The characters are so wooden and there is so much innuendo as to whose relationship is with or to whom. My first Scarpetta novel was "TRACE" so I wanted to go back and read and earlier one. A fan recommended this one. But I still found the characters not particularly likeable. I can't stand Lucy.
The plot was excellent and the forensic evidence pieces flawless. But there are so many holes and unconnected dots. And the whole plot changes from being about a killer, and who is killing these ... Read More

I didn't find anything wrong with it at all. It was in great shape.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Thriller Morgue
Cornwell takes hold of your mind and does to let go until Scarpetta finds her solution. There is a horrible crime scene but it does produce some fingerprints. This is an easy case for Scarpetta until there is a match. It was a match to murderer that was executed before this murder. Read the book it is a good one.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Read this before Body Farm
One of Cornwell's better books & I have read them all. This is the 4th book in the Scarpetta series (it's better to read them in order). This is the first book to feature Temple Gault so should read this before you read Body Farm & From Potter's Field.

This book is a fast paced & should keep you flipping pages.

The ending was a bit of a disappointment - loose ends not resolved. However, I did like this book & it was nice that there is no love interest.
