DESCRIPTION:
Kindle Customer said So disappointed!. I've read every Scarpetta book, some more than once, but this is the last one. Depraved Heart may be the worst book I've ever read. Plodding doesn't begin to describe it. I made up my mind that I would finish it and I did, but it was a chore. I don't understand Cornwell's intent with this series, but the plots strain credulity and Kay Scarpetta has become insufferably smug and elitis. not the Scarpetta that you are used to I used to eagerly anticipate the next in Kay Scarpetta series. However, the past couple of books I have begun to wonder if maybe it is time for Kay to retire. I found myself dragging myself through Depraved Heart and it took me much longer to read than usual due to my lack of interest. The data fiction aspect, the "villian" that never seems to die all made it more tiresome than not. . "Cornwell's characters and plots getting over-the-top and cartoonish!" according to Dorothy W. Wilson. I'll say it right outPatricia Cornwell needs to find/create some new material. She has really painted herself into a corner with the Scarpetta series. She has removed all real tension by giving her main characters, Kay and Lucy, everything they want, so there is nothing left but to puff them up to over-the-top proportions and then infuse them with paranoia and arrogance and surround
But how can it be? It’s clearly a surveillance film of Lucy taken almost twenty years ago.As Scarpetta watches she comes to grips with frightening secrets about her niece. Certainly that’s the message they send when they start harassing Lucy and begin building a case that could send her to prison for the rest of her life.In the latest novel in her bestselling series featuring medical examiner Dr. Kay Scarpetta, Cornwell captivates readers again with the jolting twists, high-wire tension, and cutting-edge forensic detail for which she is renowned, proving yet again why she is the world’s number one bestselling crime writer.. Dr. The diabolical presence and singularly “depraved heart” behind what unfolds seems obvious—but strangely, not to the FBI. A video link seems to be from her niece Lucy. That first clip and others sent soon after raise dangerous implications that increasingly isolate Scarpetta and leave her confused, alarmed, and not knowing where to turn. Kay Scarpetta is working a highly suspicious death scene in Cambridge, Massachusetts, when an emergency alert sounds on her phone
She was born in Miami, grew up in Montreat, North Carolina, and now lives and works in Boston. Beyond the Scarpetta series, Patricia has written a definitive book about Jack the Ripper, a biography and two more fiction series among others. Cornwell, a licensed helicopter pilot and scuba diver, actively researches the cutting-edge forensic technologies that i
“Scarpetta’s current case, Lucy’s troubles with the Feds, and Carrie’s spooky blast from the past are all on an inevitable collision course, and Cornwell shows surprising restraint in reining in her plot and keeping it tightly focused on her well-developed core characters.” (Publishers Weekly)“Dark and cleverly plotted.” (Booklist)“Another gritty, world-weary tale of mayhem by masterful mysterian Cornwell. Once Scarpetta decides to ferret out Lucy’s secrets, the novel becomes more of a psychological thriller…” (New York Times Book Review)“Heart-stopping, paranoia-fueled, propulsively readable, viscerally suspenseful, disconcertingly shifty… Cornwell’s demonic plot shifts and changes almost page by page
