Overview
Book of the Dead is the fifteenth novel in the Scarpetta series, written by Patricia Cornwell. For those who are not familiar with the stories, Kay Scarpetta is a trusted Forensic Pathologist who is extremely unfortunate enough to keep running accross numerous phsycopathic murderers. Luckily, with the help from her fiery but brilliant, millionaire neice, ex-detective and chauventistic side-kick Marino and ex-FBI profiler & long term partner Benton, she usually manages to come good and save the day. Even if there are a few life changing hiccups along the way.

Advantages: Thrilling, interesting and very real!! Disadvantages: I didn't want the book to end!!
I really enjoyed this book, I usually go for girly novels and decided to have a bit of a change. I found the language used in the book very descriptive which made the characters appear real.

In my opinion the book was quite gruesome but this was done in an honest and tactful way. The book engaged my interest ...
Advantages: Erm nothing at all Disadvantages: Where do I start?
