PORT MORTUARY by Patricia Cornwell *****

As always great reading. Kay Scarpetta is on a case with her husband and Lucy, her neice. Most of the book is internal narrative (she has a healthy ego) and the case is dribbled in small snippets throughout. It's a big book so if you fall asleep make sure the book doesn't fall off the bed and hit the dog down there.

Lots of scary new technology, like flybots and air knives and nano-products. I still don't know why the corpse was bleeding long after death esp. since he was on his back and bled from his face. Did I miss something? One of her colleagues, she's known most of her professional life, becomes a suspect. Lots of people (FBI, Lucy, DoD, probably more) have her office bugged-why? IDK, cuz she's so famous? Lots of coincidences of people being where other people who are either related or in Kay's neighborhood happen.

Aside from the self-aggrandizement it's good reading, page turning and interesting with the new tech stuff.
