The Scarpetta Factor is Patricia Cornwells 17th Scarpetta novel. The Scarpetta novels have had a chequered history: they started out consistently good and then went downhill for a while. This one is quite an improvement on those of 5 or 6 years ago. While its a bit slow-moving in places, on the whole, it has something like the quality of the first novels. A lot of the subject matter is topical, the CSI bits are better than ever, and the characters have finally matured somewhat: they have gone from acting like self-indulgent and irritating juveniles to reasonably responsible adults, although Lucy could probably do with anger management classes. With regard to the plot, it helps if you can remember what happened around the time of Benton Wesleys disappearance, but its not essential. I enjoyed this novel and look forward to reading the next Scarpetta, Port Mortuary.
Cornwell fans will love this novel. A page turner once you get past the setup of characters and situation. Intriguing plot and good characterisation. A very good writer who continues to refine her story telling skills. Should be a best seller.
