Book Reviews of Black Notice (Scarpetta)
Book Review: Preaching to the choir.
Summary: 5 Stars
That is what it feels like now when I try to think of things to write about Patricia Cornwell books. There are so many who found her work long before I did and therefore knew long before me that this woman is a genuine American Treasure. I know I am preaching to the choir but she is so much more than an incredibly gifted writer. She is a teacher, an entertainer, a humanitarian and the list goes on endlessly. This book was a fascinating read. I learned several things I would probably not have learned otherwise and found myself caught up in a tale than snatched me up on page one and never let me go until the last page was turned.
Summary of Black Notice (Scarpetta)
It's Christmastime in Richmond, Virginia, but no one seems merry--least of all Chief Medical Examiner Kay Scarpetta, back for her 10th outing as a crime-solving coroner. Actress Kate Reading also returns, reading her third unabridged audio for Patricia Cornwell's death-drenched series. This one finds Scarpetta still recovering from the murder of her lover and in a generally foul mood as an investigation of a badly decomposed body leads her to INTERPOL, and eventually, Paris. Series regulars Police Detective Pete Marino, recently demoted, and niece Lucy are in equally cantankerous states of mind, resulting in more blue language than Cornwell regulars may be used to. Reading proves she's up to the task, maintaining multiple distinct voices and highlighting the occasional humor in the overwhelmingly dark novel. A London-based stage actress, she captivates the listener without careening into melodrama. (Running time: 12.5 hours, 8 cassettes) --Kimberly Heinrichs
