4.0 out of 5 stars Great page turner, April 20 2004

By	Jennifer Dorrell "jend954" (miramar, florida United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Cruel & Unusual (Mass Market Paperback)

I really liked this book. It is a page turner for sure. I would read before I went to bed and have to force myself to find a stopping point. If the ending was written differently I would have given it 5 stars, but it was still fun to read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Another awesome novel, April 19 2004

By	Caitlin Olson (New Hampshire) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Cruel & Unusual (Mass Market Paperback)

My mother and I are just hooked on reading Patricia Cornwell, we started somewhere in the middle with one book but since have gone back to the beginning. They are the only books I am currently seeking out to read.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good mystery, Mar 29 2004

By	Patty Philbrook (Stratham, NH United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Cruel & Unusual (Mass Market Paperback)

This is a darn good mystery read that certainly keeps you up at night turning the pages. Isn't that what we all want here? More enjoyable Kay Scarpetta for fans of this series. Well worth staying up late to read!
