Summary
As the police begin searching for clues, the wallet of investigative reporter Ted Eddings is found. Unnerved by the possible identity of the victim, Scarpetta orders the crime scene roped off and left alone until she arrives. What was he doing there, searching for Civil War relics as the officer suggested, or was there a bigger story? As she rifles through the multitude of clues, a second murder hits much closer to home. This new development puts Scarpetta and her colleagues hot on the trail of a military conspiracy.
Filled with lurid details that Cornwell's legions of fans have come to expect, Cause of Death is a breathtaking mystery further enhanced by C. J. Critt's gripping narration.
Cause of Death is the 7th book in the Kay Scarpetta series.

Critic reviews
"Cornwell remains a master of the genre, instilling in readers an appetite that only she can satisfy." (Publishers Weekly)
"The fascination with monstrous evil that's run through Cornwell's recent work blossoms with a vengeance....Full marks, as always, for the gripping forensic detail and beleaguered Scarpetta's legendary toughness." (Kirkus)

Statements
Not one of the authors best. Interesting but a bit complicated with all of the scientific information. The narration wasn’t the usual standard. It was read like a list of statements mainley owing to the over long pauses between each sentence. Hope the next book is back to the usual top standard.

The narrator
I will be searching for all the books covered by this narrator … and putting them on my don’t listen list … just awful. I have listened to a few of Patricia Cornwell books and I’m struggling o make up my mind about them. How come a medical examiner gets so involved in the real time investigation instead of doing her day job?

Good but not great
Not my favourite Scarpetta book but ok. Narrator was awful. I think part of me not liking this book as much was down to the awful narration. It actually made me dislike some characters I learned to love in previous books.

Nasal Narrator
CJ Critt tries her hardest but is beset by a nasty sinus issue
The story is great but Ms Critt doesn't really put much variety into her voices and places emphasis in really odd places. It's also really... really... slow. I listened at 1.10 speed.
