Red Mist / Patricia Cornwell / 498 pages

This is one of Cornwell's Kay Scarpetta novels. It took me a little while to get into it but once the plot started rolling, it kept my interest. Kay suffers from her usual angst about doing the right thing and worrying about her relationship with her niece Lucy. Marino still has anger issues but he was much more entertaining in this book. Love his idea of losing weight by eating whatever you want when you are hungry vs worrying about meals and his book idea "Don't Think You're Fat-just Eat." This book which takes place in Savannah, Georgia mops up the aftermath of the death of her second in command Jack Fielding. I still enjoy reading about her working a crime scene. Hard to imagine.
