Book Review The Last Precinct - Patricia Cornwell - 5/5 Every book preceding this one built around a central theme and a pointed crime-solving aspect, but the 11th novel in the series beautifully paints what it means to be the very bruised, flawed and unforgivably human: Kay Scarpetta. Whether this is a battle of psychologically approaching grief and pain, or a matter of dissecting the motivations and mutilations of criminal behaviour, the twists and turns in this book are increasingly elusive.
