The new Kay Scarpetta novel from the world's #1 bestselling crime writer. Determined to find out what happened to her former deputy chief, Jack Fielding, murdered six months earlier, Kay Scarpetta travels to the Georgia Prison for Women, where an inmate has information not only on Fielding, but also on a string of grisly killings. The murder of an Atlanta family years ago, a young woman on death row, and the inexplicable deaths of homeless people as far away as California seem unrelated. But Scarpetta discovers connections that compel her to conclude that what she thought ended with Fielding's death and an attempt on her own life is only the beginning of something far more destructive: a terrifying terrain of conspiracy and potential terrorism on an international scale. And she is the only one who can stop it.

Excellent Scarpetta book. Make sure you read the one before this first as this one is the sequel.

Exactly my thought regadring to the series as far, however, this is better than my expects after reviewing the article about this story as well as other's comments. The story is very good. Keep up the good works. Really looking forward to enjoy the chapter im the series.

A great disappointment from Cornwell. I tried reading it twice and couldn't finish either time. Will hesitate to read her next book

I liked this book because it give me just a little bit more actual forensic science that I did not know. Well writen as always, I had a hard time putng it down.

Sortof continues where the last installment left off. A bit moody...

I had about given up on Patricia Cornwell before Port Mortuary. Her characters were all so dour humourless and depressed. But Port Mortuary restored some of my interest and Red Mist brings me firmly back into the category of a fan. The pacing is great, the plot too and I actually started to care about all these people again.

Patricia Cornwell over the years falls into a "guilty pleasure" read. I must admit that I rarely read her entire novel (It needs a good edit); however, I read the start as it usually summarizes all the past Scarpetta novels and the last several chapters as it seems to summarize the current novel. If you are a loyal reader, it would be a good read. If you are a new reader of Cornwell, her newer (extremely long) novels can be read out of sequence. If you are a "serious" reader, this is not a good choice.

I'm glad it is not just me that thought this was horrible. I had read all of her books when she first started this series but I just cannot do it anymore. I read about a third of this one and finally gave up. What happened? Is someone else writing these now?

I appreciate Cornwell's return to focus more on forensics. Red Mist was better than I expected, but dragged some.
