UGH! I was trucking along, really enjoying the story, and then the last 2 or 3 chapters hit. And they were lame. It was almost as if the author was typing and realized she needed to get to the grocery store before it closed, so she decided to end the book and call it a day. Terrible ending!Still, I will read the others in this series because I liked the characters and the story, until the very end.Nota bene: A compelling read though I was not satisfied the way it ends. 2.5 stars.
23/3 - I just finished watching the last episode in season 10 of Bones on Foxtel and considering the fact that Channel 7 is only halfway through season 11 I don't think Foxtel will be getting its hands on it for some time, possibly not until next year even. Coming to the realisation that I might have to wait 12 months before I see a new episode of Bones sent me into almost immediate withdrawal, but then I looked at my to read list for March and had the epiphany of what's the next best thing
A serial killer is killing couples, leaving one tantalising clue. When the daughter of one of the elite goes missing, Scarpetta and co. find themselves under immense scrutiny and pressure on all sides. The Scarpetta 'method' of investigations of serial killer cases while be judge and often troubled by concerned parties in authority works really well in this book!The Kay Scarpeta series 'blows up' in this volume as the formula works perfectly. The strength of the book may have something to do
I chose this book as one of the mysteries I'm reading for my Adult Pop Lit class, so this is long because I need to remember for discussion... I was compelled to keep reading this book, so I think that's saying something for good pacing and interesting plot and characters. It mostly stands up to Van Dine's 21 rules for mystery writing. There was a love interest for Dr. Scarpetta, but it's not at all central to the story. Because this book is a bit more of a forensic mystery, the conclusion was a
The "Kay Scarpetta" mystery series by Patricia Cornwell was one of the first adult mystery book series I began reading. I also started these very young, around 13 or 14, which may not be the best thing for young adults if they don't have a strong sense of right/wrong and a stomach to handle really gory stuff. All That Remains is the third book in the series about a forensic medical examiner in Virginia who helps solve brutal crimes.What I love about the early books is the relationship between
I was zooming through, enjoying this very well but the end fumbled. Violence isn't my kind of content but Patricia Cornwell has an engaging pace. A good author can peak our interest in nearly anything. I liked a lot in this story. However as we were revving up to the crux, an extra twist disturbed momentum that was better without it. Other elements did too. All That Remains, 1992, was sure to score four stars but received three.A person I liked died and it wasn't clear why, nor was a detail
