I got this recently at a used book store. It's interesting seeing how easily surprises could be plotted before the era of cell phones!! This series features a forensic pathologist, Joanna Blalock. These books are a fast read. He tells a pretty good story, and I coudln't figure out the killer until right before the end, which is good. Interestingly, there is not actually a lot of forensic pathology in the book. That makes it very different from the Patricia Cornwell and Kathy Reichs books, which also feature female forensic specialists. This story involves a serial killer who is killing women and crosses paths with our heroine when the murders start to encroach on her medical center. A good vacation/beach book. ( )

Good medical mystery ( )
