No, not as good as the first few Cornwells 
I had given up on Cornwell, her last few being so bad. Then, I got this one for Christmas so I pretended to like it. There are too many bizarre characters in these books now, making them too unbelievable to be fun. It was already a huge concession on my part to fall for Benton coming back to life, and now I have to suspend most normal logic. I find the third person voice of this novel hard to slog through. There is too little forensic investigation, which is what made these good. There is no real suspense... more info

FINALLY! The old P. Cornwell has returned! 
The last several P.C books have been absolutely painful to read...this one, she is back on her game! Maybe not quite as great as some of her earliest Scarpetta endeavors, but stil very, very good. Patricia, now that you have found your way back, PLEASE don't leave us again!

Far from her best 
I respectfully disagree with the effusive praise being heaped upon this book by so many readers. I've read every Scarpetta novel (and almost every other book by Ms. Cornwell) and think this is among her worst.
If you want her at her best, start at the beginning and then quit when you get to the 2000s.
This book is tedious ... the only reason I finished it was because I'm compulsive about finishing books that I start.
Her early stuff is outstanding ... her latter stuff has gone down hill.more info
