This book was a real burden to read. I have really enjoyed all of the other Scarpetta books even the Hornet's Nest etc, series. This was just, I don't know, boring. The plot, never found it really. Kept jumping around. One chapter it is all about her and Benton, then Lucy and her money, boss, whatever. Her job, did she quit, will she stay? Her therapy. She needs therapy. Should have dumped all this stuff in two or three chapters and maybe had Scarpetta moving to New York to start something new. Felt like this book satisfied some deadline to get a new book out and did not have any ideas!
