I have read every book that Patricia Cornwell has ever written and the last two books "Black Notice" and "The Last Precinct" were my favourites by far. I found that I could not put the books down I just had to keep turning the pages. Many times I fell asleep with the book in my lap, not from being bored, for any true fan knows that the books are far from boring. I applaude "The Last Precinct" for it was a truly rivoting book that kept me in suspense. For any readers od Patricia Cornwell that are looking for another author in the same genre look no further than Kathy Reichs. The main character Dr. Temperance Brennan is a forensic anthropologist. Truly another great writer.

Never have I been so captivated by a book such as the Last Precint.The first time I read Postmortem, one of Patricia Cornwell's first novels in the Kay Scarpetta series, at the age of 12 in 1996,I became hooked.I then went on to read nine of her other works,but must confess, that the The Last Precint, is most gripping.Each chapter brought me deeper into the world of Kay,and gave me an undescribable sense of justice,where all I wanted to do was protect her.The book touched on past novels in the Scarpetta series, such as The Body Farm, which only a fan would recognise, but a beginner would be curious enough as to read.I am a little disappointed with these marvellous pieces of works not being brought to life on the big screen,however if there are videos,I would live some news of their existence.I am looking forward to the next Scarpetta novel.
This book is truely a MUST READ!!!

I just finished reading this book and absolutely loved it! I am a recent fan of Kay Scarpetta, having read the first eight or so novels since September. This one tied everything together that I had read about previously and also let readers in to the depths of character of Kay Scarpetta more than ever before. This book may make little sense to someone who has not followed Scarpetta from the beginning, or at least from about "The Body Farm", but those familiar will appreciate the details included, drawing from previous novels. "The Last Precinct" is set up perfectly for a sequel which I am anxiously awaiting. I was disappointed to learn that "Isle of Dogs", Cornwell's latest is not the sequel, or even a Scarpetta novel, for that matter.
I highly recommend this book!
