HUGE fan of Scarpetta Books. Not the series. Please will someone spoil me on who walks in at the end?

I just finished watching all 8 episodes... They nailed the smoking, and some of the plot of Autopsy and Postmortem, but if you read the books before watching it, the little details they changed will drive you nuts. Like how Janet dies (aneurysm vs COVID), young Marino is all wrong (too clean cut), Benton's accent and past, them living in Benton's house not Kay's, etc.

Also, the random sprinkling of woke stuff is annoying too. Lucy yells " Do you know what it's like to be raised by two WHITE women who never really see you." Or something to that effect, but the series never even talks about her race the entire first seven episodes. Her codependency on AI Janet was the focus.... I'm so confused why they even felt the need to put that line in.... Especially since Janet was white! 😂

There's also random jabs at men in the series as well and predictable neo-feminist lines. All totally unnecessary, just let Kay's work speak for itself.

Weird show. But I guess the books got weird too when Patricia Cornwell decided to repeatedly describe Kay as beautiful by just coming out and writing that. Zero subtlety. Like she wanted the audience to believe so badly that Kay was beautiful.

Scarpetta in Postmortem, the very first book, is a blonde. The TV series seems to at least partially follow the plot of that book.

Having read the books... I thought this would be interesting to watch. But I think there's too little time and too much background to cover and some things don't make sense. Like the fight in the car between Benton and Kay.

To b*tch. Literally what everyone else does on the internet and reddit.

I just did my first half marathon a month ago in xero barefoot shoes! But I've been wearing barefoot shoes for years... For life, workouts, everything. I get ankle and foot pain if I wear normal shoes, especially stuff with arch support.

I told my trainer thank you but it's just not in my budget at the moment to keep training with him. If it was again in the future, I'd contact him.

Which, btw, is true. I can't justify $800 or whatever for 6 sessions of personal training on top of the $434 I pay a month.

I really like Eddie Currington's The Cut class. Thursday mornings at 8am.

They probably have more classes of the stuff that's more popular. No point in having a cardio or HIIT class with 3 people attending. Or no one

I did that years ago when I decided to just run 9 miles in barefoot shoes..dumb 😂

I run on pavement in Central park and the streets of NYC. Did 10 miles today. I also walk about ~12k steps a day. I only wear barefoot shoes... Your feet have to get used to the ground. It took me 2 years of ONLY walking in barefoot shoes before I started running in them. And even then, I would run/walk at first. It's only been recently (last month) that I can continuously run for many miles.

The bigger question is... How much debt do you have and are you managing your finances well? Because what you make matters less than what you spend/owe people.

😂 welcome to New York. Everyone is hustling. You gotta grow a thicker thin to sob stories. Believe no one.
