This book is a must read for anyone that likes a good mystery. Patricia Cornwell is an excellent writer. If you are a male or female you will enjoy reading her book. I had a real hard time putting this book down. I purchased it new at a local store and paid $18.00 and it was worth every penny. I just wish I had know about this site first, I could have purchased alot of books for that price!!
