Flesh and Blood by Patricia CornwellMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
What is going on with this series???? I have read most of the books and loved the first ones but after book #18, I gave up on this series.
Why did I then read book #22? I was kind of missing Kate Scarpetta and thinking...hey the real KS might just be back????
Well, let me tell you right away..........she AIN’T!!!
Kate flits from one place to another...from one dead body to another....in between making fabulous breakfast for Benton, which never gets eaten!!!!
The plot confused me....much...a lot....snipers, suspected terrorists, people being murdered here and there...connected to this one and that one........twists here and then turns there....geez, i felt like I was watching the Wimbledon Men’s final........you know where your head goes something like this....
?I didn’t get the plot!!! Why the killers kill who they did. Who were the killers??? Hell, beyond confusion!!!
And then there’s the characters........
I loved Kay S....but what happened to her???
I wanted more of her and Benton (who I loved in the previous books)...here he jumps from one place to another with a purpose I have no idea what it is!
Lucy...i adored her character but in the later books, she’s become like this weird person....i just don’t get her anymore!!! And in this story...another “fliter”......she “poofed” from place to place and EUREKA....when we are told who is behind all those weird murders!!!!! No, really!!!!
Marino..i loved the relationship between him and Kay but what the hell has happened to the guy...yes, he was always wacko and weird but now, he’s still that but more...whiney, moaning and shouting all over the place......who is this guy Marino in this story?????????????
And let me not start with the last word in the book..........SNAP!!! What the hell does that mean?????????????? Now, I HAVE to read book #23 because I NEED to KNOW!!!!!!
Yes, I will read the next KATE SCARPETTA instalment because I cannot be left hanging on there.........guess that’s what the author had in mind...or maybe not!!! Guess I will have to wait and see....and HOPE a LOT that it’s going to be an awesome read.
