Red Mist by Patricia Cornwell

Let me start by saying that I love Patricia Cornwell and though she may have gotten off track with her Scarpetta books (about 4 or 5 books ago) she is certainly back on track with her usual engrossing mysteries.

Red Mist (#19 in the Scarpetta series) is focused on the team (Kay, Benton, Lucy and Pete) attempting to piece together the mystery around former deputy chief, Jack Fielding’s murder six months earlier. Kay is lured into travelling to the Georgia Prison for Women, where an inmate has information on Fielding as well as a string of other horrible killings (the murder of an Atlanta family years ago, a young woman on death row and more). Kay soon discovers, however, that the connection between Jack’s death and an attempt on her own life is something far more complex: A conspiracy on an international level that she must solve before more people are dead.

I really, really liked this book and was so happy that it kept me turning the pages. It wasn’t hard to follow and the mystery was new and exciting. I would definitely recommend this book and am psyched that her next Scarpetta is scheduled for release this October 16th!
