Summary: One of my absolute favorite Scarpettas
Comment: A serial killer dubbed by the media as "The Couple Killer" is kidnapping young couples, murdering them and leaving their bodies to decompose where they aren't discovered until Hunting season begins. This is one of my favorite Scarpetta novels. Any positive adjective you can come up with, I used it when I finished this book. I've read this book several times, and it's just as good the third and fourth time as it was the first. Patricia Cornwell once again proves why she is crime fiction's highest selling, most accomplished writer.

Summary: A Detailed Look Into the Case of a Serial Killer...
Comment: Written in first person, I found myself engrossed in this story about a chief medical examiner that is desperately looking for the killer who has left 5 couples dead by rest stops in the past 5 or so years. Dr. Kay Scarpetta becomes almost obsessed with finding this skilled and cold-blooded killing machine that leaves no traces nor a clue to his identity. His victims are all young, teenagers mostly and all good-looking. He drags them all barefoot into an area of secluded woods and kills them methodically. Leaving them facedown and seeming to hold each other's hands in death a 'calling card' is placed somewhere on them to signify he had been there. The Jack of Hearts.
At times creepy, but mostly very intense, the story moves quickly and it's hard to put down. I have never read anything from a medical examiner's point of view and I thought it was excellent. Never were any clues revealed too soon or too late for us the reader to not be shocked or anxious. We felt all the acute frustration she was feeling in trying to dig up clues and evidence when people seemed determined to block her efforts. I felt almost like I was watching from some hidden camera as she went through the cases and tried to piece together information. The revelations were shocking and too horrible to imagine. This killer was cruel and determined to finish what he started, regardless of the FBI and police looking for him.
I also discovered that this character Dr. Kay Scarpetta is also in a few other books by this author (POST MORTEM, CRUEL AND UNUSUAL, BLACK NOTICE, ect)and now I am getting them all, I enjoyed this one so much. I really felt like I was witnessing a real detailed look into a non-fictional case, this author is extremely talented.

Summary: Very good book, really
Comment: I dont know what's all the bad rap about this book, as I've seen in a few reviews below. It's a solid Cornwell novel. And please, as much as I love medicine and pathology novels, it's nice to see the Medical examiner snoop around, and do stuff, rather than sit in the lab all day.
I wish the ending was longer, because the whole story was pretty heavy duty. I like to see the whole action unfold even more.
Overall, another great read, dont miss it. Not to give things away, but the murderer isn't caugh on pure luck, as someone said below. All the investigating pays off, and I enjoyed the moment ( at the end) when I figured out who it was.
