About this listen

Four young women have been found murdered—tortured and strangled in their own beds—all victims of the same brilliant monster. Using a skilled hand and the latest technology in forensic medicine, Kay Scarpetta begins the process of gathering the microscopic clues the latest battered body has to give.

This was an enjoyable book, but it is clearly a reflection of the time in which it was written; it’s a nice throwback to a simpler time, technologically, but there are other aspects that make it a little cringeworthy, especially all the smoking references, and providing alcohol to a minor. It was a bit predictable, but again, this was the first novel, and I look forward to carrying on in the series.

A bit dated

The story is great, but the narrator kept taking an audible breath before starting to read, and it takes away from the story, it was a little annoying.

Great story

I didn’t realize when I selected the book that it was written in 1990. References to technology was so old it made me laugh. Story in general was interesting enough and the performance was good. I will pay attention to when books were written, going forward.

Dated but okay
