About book Flesh And Blood (2014)

Another cop out ending. What is the deal? Why does the reader have to learn what happened at the climax second hand ? That sucks. Also, the book seemed a bit disjointed and honestly, not that good. After 22 books, what else can Kay Scarpetta actually do that she hasn't done before? Answer: nothing. Even the supposed return of a past nemesis feels watered down. And was the sniper deaths and all the others ever explained? No. A hurried plot and it is boring, too. This is by far the shortest Scarpetta book the author has ever written and it shows. Chilling suspence as crime comes close to home. This 22nd Kay Scarpetta adventure is a good, compelling read. I could not work out how the ending would be accomplished as the remaining pages diminished in number, and the truth is that is that it is probably more a pause than an end - a next installment to elements in the story is probable and seems inevitable. We have travelled a long way with the main characters and know a lot of their history, so the next episode will be eagerly awaited.
