Amazon.com Review

The postmortem is in--Black Notice, the 10th in Patricia Cornwell's Scarpetta series, is a gore-splattered, intensely exciting read. As winter grips Richmond, Virginia, an air of somberness pervades chief medical examiner Kay Scarpetta's world. Her beloved niece Lucy is involved in a dangerous undercover police operation in Miami, and auntie fears for her life. A tyrannical new deputy chief, Diane Bray, wants to get Kay's department under her jurisdiction. Meanwhile, back at the office, someone has tinkered with the e-mail system, stealing Kay's identity, and sending off slanderous and hurtful messages. Emotionally battered, Scarpetta fears she is going insane. Or, could it be that someone is deliberately sowing this harvest of sorrow? Despite her personal problems, Scarpetta is still the reigning diva at the department of death. She is sent to investigate the putrefied remains of a man found inside a container ship, "eyes bulged froglike, and the scalp and beard were sloughing off with the outer layer of darkening skin." Kay finds strange, animal-like hairs on the man's clothing--the same hairs that she discovers on a murdered store clerk a few days later. In actuality, the bizarre killings extend well beyond Virginia; whoever killed the Richmond victims also butchered people in France. Kay and police captain Pete Marino are whisked off to Paris where they must collect top-secret information from a Paris morgue, and avoid becoming victims themselves. This macabre tome is the stuff that classic Scarpetta tales are made of: creepy but compulsive autopsy scenes, plentiful plot twists, and the compelling, if slightly more vulnerable chief medical examiner herself. --Naomi Gesinger

From Publishers Weekly

It's like a splash of cold water on a hot day to be plunged, after the irritating third-person satire of Cornwell's last novel, Southern Cross (1998), back into the bracing narration of medical examiner Kay Scarpetta. As in the nine Scarpettas past (Point of Origin, etc.), here it's not the novel's events, startling as they are, that propel the story so much as the deep-hearted responses of Kay, as real a hero as any in thriller fiction, to the "evil"Aher wordAthat threatens. Evil wears several faces here, from petty to monstrous. Most insidious is the office sabotageAinsubordination, thefts, fraudulent e-mailsAthat's making the grieving Kay look as if she's lost her grip since her lover's murder in Point of Origin. More destructive are the overt attempts by calculating Richmond, Va., deputy police chief Diane Bray to ruin Kay's career as well as that of Kay's old friend, Capt. Pete Marino. Then there's the wild rage at life that's consuming Kay's niece, a DEA agent. FinallyAthe plot wire that binds the sometimes scattered plotAthere are the mutilation killings by the French serial killer self-styled "Loup-Garou"Awerewolf. The forensic sequences boom with authority; the brief action sequences explode on the pageAin the finale, overbearingly so; the interplay between Kay and Marino is boisterous as always, and there's an atmospheric sidetrip to Paris and an affecting romantic misadventure for lonely Kay. A thunderhead of disquietude hangs over this compulsively readable novel, sometimes loosing storms of suspense; but to Cornwell's considerable credit, the unease arises ultimately not from the steady potential for violence, but from a more profound horror: the vulnerability of a good woman like Kay to a world beset by the corrupt, the cruel, the demonic.

The story is ridiculous, the characters unbelievable and unlikable, none more so than Marino and supergirl - niece Lucy. How a well known, respected author could write something this bad is unbelievable in it's own right. I gave it two stars because at some point it became so humorous i was beginning to enjoy it for all the wrong reasons. I couldn't wait to see how she ended this mess. Needless to say, the ending was as silly as the rest of the book.

This book started good, slowed then a slice and ended with hope. As an officer personally, this particular case made good points most don't see it take into consideration and ending on a major point. Different kind of case but Cornwell ties things in nicely in her books. I enjoy her books because I hold multiple degrees and have a wide variety of experience that her character's resonate with at times and remind me of particular terms, actions or things learned early on in my career. Even being in this type of profession the books give me a reprieve from the real life unbelievable situations.

This book picks right up from the previous installment, Black Notice, so I recommend that you read that one first. The first few chapters are a bit tedious as Kay Scarpetta goes through a lot of introspection from almost being murdered in Black Notice. I was hoping for more action and it slowly comes around, but not to the same suspense as the earlier books of the series that made me turn page after page.I think if you are a Scarpetta series fan, you'd like this book, as you've been bringing the history of Kay, Benton, Lucy and Marino along with you. I think many reviewers here are a bit harsh, even though this is not as good as the first few in the series. If you are new to the series, this would probably be a 3 star book.

What I didn't like was the fact, that IMHO, one of the main persons, in this book was more or less left out...That is, details, as to his thoughts, motives, what made him the was he was...there are IMHO, a vageness, about the 'wolf-man", that should have been included...If any one has ever read "THEWATCHER", by Dean Koontz, will understand what I'm trying to point out...his "MONSTER", was given, feelings it expressed, how it felt, why it was angery, in short, he had substance, you couldn't help but "feel", for the poor thing...this was missing here....another charector in the book, her motives, were never made clear, either, before she was 'rubbed out', near the books end.....she was nasty, but I never grasped her true motives or reasons for being that way..I think/ believe, more defining, of the story line was needed...I truly felt let down, at the ending..

I very much enjoyed this book and I have read most of the Scarpetta novel as by Patricia Cornwell. Generally I am completely satisfied with them but this time I was very disappointed with the ending it just kinda cuts off and left me hanging with a feeling that there should've been more to it. I had so many unanswered questions for instance do Lucy and Jo end up getting into trouble with the ATF or does the family of the werewolf try to avenge his death or do Kay and Talley continue their relationship? I just feel like I was left hanging on too many issues this time. Sorry Ms. Cornwell but I was a little let down and disappointed with this one.

Full of suspense. Dr. Scarlett's is a great character to follow. She has integrity, but sometimes makes mistakes. She is in control of her environment, but has plenty of opportunity to step outside the box, to be creative. She's completely human, making her easy to like. I like learning about the forensics. This is another masterful novel by Cornwell.

Not one of her best but definitely a good read with an interesting plot.. Love all of her novels, they only take me a day or two to read because they are so good. Now that I have to read a romantic novel for school I can barely force myself to read it. Cornwell has spoiled me!! I've read almost all in the series. I love the science behind this book, she does an amazing job researching. Point of Origin is another great one by her if you are into the more forensic books.

Dr. Scarpetta manages to return to work which helps her deal with her grief but she returns to chaos in her usually well organized department. A horrific murder, a personal attack on her professional position, familial disfunction and a friend in trouble all woven together to provide a very entertaining few hours lost in an absorbing story.
