Port Morturary Reviewed

      I finished Port Mortuary and find that it really was a different book than I expected it to be. Except for a couple of really gruesome book in the mid 2000's I really enjoy the Kay Scarpetta series. This one was a bit of departure from the others. Instead of the first person narrative she usually uses, she did this one in first person stream of consciousness, meaning that if Kay didn't think it or stopped listening to who she was with, then we lost what that other person said. It really made it much more challenging to solve the mystery while giving you the feeling you were inside her head and getting more info than you were. It was done very nicely and is a good read.

Fifth book now on last books I finished list.

    I have been reading a pretty long book planning on putting it up as book five for my list. Instead I got a hold of the third Ring of Fire compilation and blew through that in a day. In the context of the series this  is a very average set of stories except for the final story which is a necessary piece connecting 1635 to 1636.  So huge warning, if you haven't read 1632 or 1633 which are both free at Baen don't go anywhere near this book. If like me you are practically addicted to the series buy it at webscription either individually or as part of the July webscription as that will be much more affordable as Baen does not sell in the Kindle store, but their prices at their website are very reasonable.
