After five books, you begin expecting more and more from a series, wanting it The Body Farm/From Potters Field up its game, thrown more mystery and character depth A few things about this one: 1. It picks up The Body Farm/From Potters Field a previous book with the same killer who still hadn't been The Body Farm/From Potters Field. It'd be helpful to read the previous one so you are fully up to speed. Potter's Field is a real place. It's where all the bodies of unknown identity have been buried in NYC. Involves a murder in The Body Farm/From Potters Field Park. Hits a little too close to home, given what happened in CP years ago. The ending is just The killer is directly after Scarpetta You learn a lot about the underground. And a killer's lair. Scarpetta never learns. She won't partner with someone the way she should. This was probably the take off point in the series where the author became quite famous. She had recognition before this book, but the series was widely known when this one was released. That said When you have some history from earlier reads, you feel more connected. But in the The Body Farm/From Potters Field, it was more or less just a good thriller book for me.

This book has all the angst and mystery that you expect from a Patricia Cornwell novel. The plot is a continuation of a storyline started in a previous novel, the pursuit of Temple Gault. The Body Farm/From Potters Field is just as dark and manipulative as in the other books and you race to the climax of the book to see if he will get away to torment Kay Scarpetta in the next novel, or will this chapter finally reach its conclusion? Aft Boy! After pages of taut writing and involving narrative, the whole book resolves in two paragraphs! And they aren't even long paragraphs. After the investment in time that I The Body Farm/From Potters Field with the characters I had hoped for something more, a lot more. Maybe there will be more resolution in the next book, but this one just left me feeling cheated. An even smaller portion of the book was dedicated to what's named in the title - the first victim is originally a Jane Doe and is buried in Potter's Field her real identity is later discovered and she's moved to a family plot. Thinking about the plot of the book I can't think of an appropriate title off the top of my head, so maybe Cornwell had a similar mental block and at the last minute just pulled the The Body Farm/From Potters Field from an interesting though barely mentioned location that she had used in the book, not even considering how little it had to do with the story. Or maybe the publisher thought the idea of a book with a storyline that featured Potter's Field and the body farm, previously would make it a bestseller and didn't consider how it fit with the plot Either way I think it backfired because it just leaves me scratching my head as to what Potter's Field really has to do with anything. I do think Cornwell's endings tend to be a bit rushed. After all the work I think the endings should be savoured, maybe steal pages from the build- up and really give the end the time it deserves and add a decent epilogue where appropriate so we know how everything wrapped up properly. Because the inappropriate title annoyed me as much with this one as it did with The Body Farm I had to deduct that same star, but fortunately there were no confusions with Lucy's age versus how many years were supposed to have passed. As soon as I finished this last night I picked up Cause of Death and read pages of that before I could force myself to put it down and go to sleep. I'll likely finish that one tonight, very nearly a one-sitting read as Cosmopolitan suggests. View all 6 comments. I've The Body Farm/From Potters Field a lot of Cornwell's books.
