From America s number-one-bestselling crime writer, an electrifying new thriller with a twist. For decades, Patricia Cornwell has demonstrated her extraordinary ability not just to entertain and enthrall, but also to surprise and AT RISK will surprise everyone. It is an audiobook filled with all the chilling suspense, rich characters, and trademark forensics that have made her an international phenomenon. But what Cornwell does with those ingredients is a revelation. A Massachusetts state investigator is called home from Knoxville, Tennessee, where he is completing a course at the National Forensic Academy. His boss, the district attorney, an attractive but hard-charging woman, is planning to run for governor, and as a showcase she s planning to use a new crime initiative called At Risk, its motto Any crime, any time. In particular, she s been looking for a way to employ some cutting-edge DNA technology, and she thinks she s found it in a twenty-year-old murder in Tennessee. If her office solves the case, they ll all end up looking pretty good, right? Her investigator is not so sure but before he can open his mouth, a shocking piece of violence intervenes . . . and they re about to get much worse. Sparks fly, traps spring, twists abound this is the master working at the top of her game.

After Scarpetta, this falls flat. Call it typecasting but better she should continue with what worked well. Perhaps a little less with the gay bit, but the team of Scarpetta and Marino beat the new game by a long shot.

At Risk Of Falling Asleep
I found the book rather predictable, the characters one-dimensional and frankly I missed Dr. Kay Scarpetta. It seemed as if Ms. Cornwell had to get something out quickly. There is a cold case to be solved for political reasons and I think you can figure out the rest. The characters were superficial and lacked depth. Ms. Cornwell is a fine writer and I expected more.

Good story!
This is not a Dr. Kay Scarpetta novel, but it is the same style, and I really enjoyed it! It involves a cold case in Knoxville, TN, near where I live. It reminded a little bit of "Isle of Dogs". She is obviously an animal lover, and works it into the story. I really like that! Patricia Cornwell's books are always full of surprises! I had the audio book on CD and highly recommend it!
