<\/a><\/div>\n

I just finished Port Mortuary by Patricia Cornwell. This is another of her series of Kay Scarpetta books. Kay Scarpetta is a medical examiner who solves murders. In this one she has to solve a puzzler of a murder quickly under difficult circumstances.<\/p>\n

She is at Dover Air Force Base to begin with doing autopsies on the bodies of soldiers killed over seas. She is like a reserve officer. She gets word from the Cambridge Forensic Center, her home office that she has been away from for months, that it appears that a murder victim may not have been dead when he was brought in. Oops, so she has to leave Dover and get back to Cambridge quickly to check out what was going on.<\/p>\n

She gets there and finds out that all sorts of crap has been going on in her absence. Her assistant, Fielding, hasn’t been taking care of business. She ends up playing catch up on everything, meanwhile she has to figure out what is going on with the murder. And where in the heck is the assistant, how come the military is there nosing around.<\/p>\n

This isn’t a linear detective novel. The process of solving the murder goes here, there, and everywhere, but it is very intriguing and compelling. I loved this book. It was a totally satisfying read.<\/p>\n

I give it four stars out of five. I got my copy at the library!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
