![Cruel and Unusual by Patricia Cornwell Cruel and Unusual by Patricia Cornwell book cover](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpiIefAO18SywbCUrpe9IR8bzXmk9ZNYA17k3yrks7GkPvyLkraztQDDDNUt3hI97kmumJqjQv1m5IaHDlqbbVCzv518w3PZlbcmQAX99MwhCGqMXKuwFCsX63I7zz6S-rqGbl/w194-h320-rw/cruel.jpg)
I especially enjoyed learning that Kay Scarpetta had given up smoking, as I cringed every time she lit up a cigarette in the morgue. I found it interesting to read about the new and emerging forensic techniques used by the characters that we are so familiar with today.
As well as being part of a well know series, this is also a stand alone book, and I'd recommend it to anyone who likes to read crime fiction.
My rating = ***
Carpe Librum!
