She describes her husband's clothes almost down to the colour of his socks. Cornwell has gotten into a typical pattern and the ending is easy to figure out. It is currently the last book Patricia Cornwell has written in this series as of 2016 as well as serves as the third issue in an arc about serial killer Carrie Grethen. Cornwell makes a lot of mistakes in her books. Given my enjoyment of the past couple novels, I came into this latest one with high expectations. Start by marking “Chaos (Kay Scarpetta, #24)” as Want to Read: Error rating book. I've read all the books in this series and this book may be the one that makes me stop. On the other hand, the forensic detail is most interesting and new developments in the fields are also included in the story. Lucy is a stunningly beautiful genius, a child prodigy, inventor, multimillionaire, ace pilot, undefeatable computer hacker, obnoxious sociopath. Because it is, laughably, filled with James Bond/Maxwell Smart spy-gadgets a la "M!" Chaos is the 24th book in the 'Kay Scarpetta' thriller and suspense series focusing on a medical examiner's investigations. And now, not unsurprising, fans will face the nature vs nurture argument in future installments. Seriously I may not even be able to finish it. She is getting ready for a visit from her sister, Dorothy, and dreading spending time with a person who has not had much time for her in the past. Garbled nonsense. Is there a less-than-one-star rating? :-D, Ok I've marked it as read but I've only read about 15% not even quite that. She spent most of the book inside Scarpetta's head and suffering from heat, the worst heat in Cambridge, Massachusetts, history and on and on. Rezension aus Deutschland vom 15. This one was just as disappointing as the last couple of books featuring Kay Scarpetta. Interestingly, to me at least, I finished Book #24 for the Alex Cross and Kay Scarpetta series within a matter of days of each other. Chaos by Patricia Cornwell 14,152 ratings, 3.57 average rating, 1,476 reviews Chaos Quotes Showing 1-16 of 16 “A part of me expects more of my only sister....Dorothy has always been exactly who she is, and for me to hope for anything better reminds me of a quote attributed to Einstein: Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. This story is excruciatingly slow and the title describes the author's mindset while she was writing it. "Chaos" was a disappointment. Who saw it? I don't know why she has to take 40 pages to talk about a crime scene. [Why is victim said to be 23 years old when her license says she was born in 1998?

Chapters and chapters of filler, of back story, of internal monologue...I don't need to hear about Benton's rich family, wonder if he was driving the Porsche or the Audi, and have his and Kay's relationship explained to me over and over. Chaos is one book you should not miss.” (Bookreporter.com) “Lots of cutting-edge forensic detail and some revelatory character moments.” (Publishers Weekly on Chaos) Goodreads helps you keep track of books you want to read. Moreno was big and bald and sweaty and mean as usual. Readers new to Cornwell will find themselves involved from the very first page, as will the veterans. Kay Scarpetta ist wie immer in Topform und von angeblichen Depressionen habe ich nichts feststellen können. A black hole, perhaps, where even light is trapped and unable to escape?

Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. I'm 72% into the book and the only reason I'm that far and will finish it is because I don't have the option to return it for refund because I waited too long to start reading it. Another minor quibble, Cornwell just cannot write convincingly of a heterosexual relationship. Bummer if and when this type of crime and killing becomes a reality (regular occurrence). While I am forced to reiterate my ongoing diatribe about Cornwell's love affair with her own characters, most especially the evil and vindictive Carrie Grethen, and for spending WAY TOO MUCH TIME rehashing the backstories of all the series' characters, I liked this book much better than her last one.

Unless you count the lecture subject (Challenger) which seems to just be an excuse for people to be "after" Scarpetta again. Her sister Dorothy shows up out of the blue and Kay is atagonistic about that. "Chaos" doesn't contain any. Most of the "action" place in a 24-hour period. If I had to hear about sweat soaked clothes and wet slimy shoes one more time I'd have screamed. Außerdem analysiert es Rezensionen, um die Vertrauenswürdigkeit zu überprüfen.

Review of “Chaos” by Patricia Cornwell Posted on 11/25/2016 by rhapsodyinbooks This is the 24th book in the crime fiction series featuring forensic pathologist Kay Scarpetta, who now is the head of the Cambridge Forensic Center in Massachusetts. I have picked it back up 3 times, trying to convince myself to finish it, and not been able to. The plot was weak and moved slowly. This hardback would make a lovely present specially with Christmas in a few months time. I'm still amazed that Scarpetta can hold my attention when the book is basically set within a 24 hour period, but hold my attention she did. The Scarpetta series has been getting more unreal, and paranoid for the last few years. It's become like a superhero comic, peopled by 2 dimensional cut-outs. It wore a bit thin after a while. Postmortem, was the first bona fide forensic thriller. There was a lot of buildup to a fairly fast ending. I CAN'T EVEN...This is so horrible. I'm still not clear on where she was walking TOO even though there was some rubbish about a lecture. She describes his cars while wondering which one of his many rich man's toys he'll be driving this time. Vor dem Eingang zum Club treffen sich die beiden und auch das spätere Opfer. But I don't know that I'll jump to read it. This book just drags along. The longer the series goes on, however, the more I believe Kay Scarpetta has seen her best days and maybe it's time to put her to sleep, literally. And she thought about other men and how good looking they were or weren't. I kept waiting for this book to start but all it seemed to have was a big beginning, a short ending and nothing much in between. Then frankly I skipped forward a bit and still garbled there. I identified with her main character, forensic pathologist Kay Scarpetta, for multiple superficial reasons: Scarpetta attended medical school where I'd gone to college; Scarpetta attended law school where my mom did; Dr. Marcella Fierro, the former Chief Medical Examiner of Virginia, upon whom Scarpetta's character is based, gave a lecture in one of my classes in medical school. geht. I'll read the reviews before I buy another. Unfortunately, the murder mystery does not even start until 20% into the book, at which point, some reviewers had already given up. She describes his cars while wondering which one of his many rich man's to. There were no scenes where Kay investigates a murder. This is the most disappointing, tedious, nothing-happening book I have ever read by a seasoned mystery author. I keep hanging in with this series because the first 6 or so books were nothing short of AMAZING. Überschrift, mindestens 20 Wörter erforderlich, was glauben Sie eigentlich f o r d e r n zu können ? Approx. The detail of information was specific and scary. This page works best with JavaScript. And I also learned I don't like Kay all that much. At this point it’s like watching a slow motion train wreck. Interestingly, to me at least, I finished Book #24 for the Alex Cross and Kay Scarpetta series within a matter of days of each other. What saves this book for me is the forensic investigation and the science. Chaos by Patricia Cornwell has a “chaotic” plot. She's a medical examiner, for crissakes. Oktober 2017, Hätte das Buch wegen der Kritiken beinahe nicht gekauft. However, the ending leaves you pondering. In Chaos a former foe appears to cause the kerfuffle at hand, Lucy, Benton, and Marino fear not and help save the day and of course, darling Sock, is still a "pettable" presence.
