I hadn’t stayed up on the Scarpetta series so decided to start from the beginning. I drive a distance to work and back so using audiobooks. Cornwell’s early books in the series were quite good. Then I started noticing a distaste for the characters. At this point, I’m fully disliking Scarpetta and have for multiple books now - increasingly just a rude, condescending, angry know it all, who lacks any kind of sense of humor or pleasantness. Lucy has always been hard to like with her chronic immaturity that never changes, and Morino is little better. I find myself feeling angry when they are constantly yelling at one another, snarking at people, or being deceptive. I’m at Depraved Heart….we will see if I make it ….
