The Scarpetta Factor kept me on the edge of my seat through 13 audio CDs. Kate Reading's narration is spot on. I love how Ms. Cornwell gives us POV from all four main characters (Kay, Benton, Pete and Lucy). My favorite character is Benton Wesley. He appears so calm on the outside, but seethes on the inside. I tell myself these people are fictional characters, but Ms. Cornwell brings them to life, warts and all. No spoilers here, but long-time fans won't be disappointed in The Scarpetta Factor.
OK I've been a Scarpetta fan since the beginning but this book is AWFUL! I got the unabridged version and I literally started skipping tracks in order to speed through this book. It was SO BORING!! Frankly I kept expecting the reader to snore - have no clue how she could keep reading so I hope they gave her lots of breaks!This was the worst book ever and I read a LOT of books and listen to a lot of audio. For example - not only were they having a party but you got to hear ALL about each food, who wanted each food, who requested each food etc... seriously??? I sure as heck hope the next one is better because I already wasted money on that one too.
The Scarpetta Factor is a fabulous book. I downloaded it onto my I-Pod to listen to on the way to Kansas (from Wisconsin) while vacationing with my two children, which was my first mistake. The story has many story lines to keep straight, each one coming together at some point in the story. Scarpetta is in the middle of a murder investigation as a county corner in New York, when suddenly she becomes the one that seems to be in danger. Her friends on the police force, family, and husband all try to keep her safe while trying to solve multiple mysteries at the same time. Admittedly listening to it with multiple interuptions from my children made it difficult to follow the story entirely, so I had to listen to it a second time to get all of the key elements of the story. I'm not sure I could have listened to something so long twice if it hadn't kept me in suspense and trying to figure out the story line so well.I definitely will be checking out more of Patricia Cornwell's stories in the near future. I'm not sure if I will choose to listen to the story again, or if I'll simply pick up the book. Either way, this book was fabulous and a must read for murder mystery lovers.By Kerri J.

I bought this CD set based on the previous review. I agree with the part about the reader - she's terrific.My problem is with the book. Cornwell must have been paid by the word! There's almost nothing happening for the first 9 CDs except a lot of angry characters thinking how angry they are and then perhaps expressing their anger to someone else - all at great length.Then we had a little action, and got back to the angst with the only main character who hadn't already expressed herself.Eventually, on CD 11, things started happening, but even then, they were pretty slow.As usual, the ending came in a rush, mostly glossed over, and we got the details in the epilogue as a quick summary/commentary.Scarpetta is supposed to be intelligent; Cornwell has her doing stupid things to put her in a dangerous situation. It's really irritating.I've stayed with the series - it was great, became okay, and is now below par - this may be the last one for me, or I may try the next one just to see if things improve. I'm not betting they will.If you're a Scarpetta fan/fanatic, read the book because you can skip all the parts that bog down on the CD. Even a slow reader could get thru it in an hour that way.
