(3.5 rounded up )
I am a big Scarpetta fan. I have read other stories by Patricia Cornwell. In fact, this is novel #29~ true 24 were Scarpetta!
I read Chaos Kay Scarpetta #24 January 4, 2017 Yep it has been five years since the last book in this series.
Needless to say, as a Scarpetta fan, I am delighted that not only has Kay returned but Lucy and Marino are back as well.
� Kay has a new job in Alexandria, Virginia as ‘chef medical examiner�.
� Marino has retired and married Kay’s sister Dorothy.
� Lucy is grieving the death of her parent Janet and adopted son. In fact, Lucy has created an Ai of Janet and communicates with her.


There are several stories going on.
Story starts when Marino’s neighbor is found dead in what seems to be a suicide but we soon believe she was murdered by a serial killer!
Then Kay is poisoned!
I wasn’t sure if they are connected but sure had my interest
Then . . . . .
Kay’s husband Benton Wesley now a forensic psychologist with the U.S. Secret Service as well as Kay are summoned by the President to attended the highly classified “Doomsday Commission� meeting in the White House Situation Room.

As we hear what is going on my first thought was hmm didn’t something similar happen in Andy Weir’s The Martian? (Note: No one was left on Mars to grow potatoes!)

I love these characters but I was a tad disappointed especially with the narrator Susan Erickson ~ she seemed so angry. She did a great job performing the male character but I wasn’t happy with her performance of Kay or the other females.

Well I read Kay Scarpetta #26 ~ You betcha!
