:: Book Review - 'Blow Fly' by Patricia Cornwell ::oops. made a major mistake, previously, i had written tt it was by Kathy Reichs. my bad. apologies...
Ok, so... blow fly, one of the latest novels about Dr. Kay Scarpetta, a forensic anthropologist-cum-lawyer. It's mainly a follow-up of the story revolving around the Chandonne cartel and the psycho twins... euw... twins, so connected and similar in their psycho tendencies, obsessions and fetishes. (real gros details in the book) yet so different in apperance. one's like some greek god (think sculpted muscular lean body, ie. 'hot bod' plus blue eyes and blond hair) the other, unfortunately inflicted with a rare disease, likening him to the loup-garou.
The language is refreshing... for once an entire book is told in a retrospective, narrative format... very personalised yet very detached. The interesting part, everything is in third-person narrative YET in present tense, a bit like a script. It is more about everyone battling their inner-demons rather than about the demon who's on death-row. There's the doc battling her fears and her anger and her sorrow at losing the man she loved... there's Lucy (the niece) battling her entire life of police training and killing (outwardly murdering, real cold-blooded scene) the corrupt lawyer of the cartel... then there's her sidekick who's battling his desire for her... uh... and Pete Marino (legendary inspector), battling his hatred for his son (tt corrupt cartel lawyer)... and then... we also find out that Benton Wesley (the man Scarpetta loves) is actually NOT DEAD! his death was staged, to keep him save from the cartel, and currently he's staging his own plan to avenge his 'death', protect Scarpetta and bring down the cartel!
The ending is super chilling, that disgusting monster escaped death row soooo simply... tsk tsk. Even a high-security state prison could do nothing to stop him. Shit lah, now when i'm in dark, ulu places i get this creep down my spine... can't wait for the next novel to be out, i hope that demonish misbreed dies in it.
PS: i don't encourage pple to read it unless they've read at least three or four books that are about Scarpetta...
