About this listen
New Year's Eve, and the final murder scene of Virginia's bloodiest year takes Scarpetta 30 feet below the Elizabeth River's icy surface. A diver is dead.
Ted Eddings, an investigative reporter who was a favourite at the Medical Examiner's office. Was Eddings probing the frigid depths for a story or simply diving for sunken trinkets? And why did Scarpetta receive a phone call reporting the death before the police were notified?

Kay was a bit flat
Enjoyable however lacking in the storyline I prefer more drama and more time in the morgue. Cornwall has definitely written better.

Classic Scarpetta
Another classic Scarpetta 'mystery'. Dr. Scapetta decamps from Richmond in an intriguing story of religious groups, terrorists and unexplained deaths.
Thoroughly enjoyable.

Leap of Faith Required
I think a cult who captured a decommissioned navy submarine and barricaded a nuclear facility with the intention of selling everything to a terrorist org would have had to face much more firepower than just an FBI hostage negotiator and a state level medical examiner. CJ Critt has always been a hit or miss for me. Here it was a miss. She did better with humorous/comical content than content with a serious, melancholic tone.

good story, weird narration!
As usual, a good yarn, even though the phrase 'my niece`' is somewhat overworked. The narration was very strange, as if an timer had gone wrong with the delivery. Stilted is the word that comes to mind. Personally, I will avoid any book read by this person. Odd stresses put on words and the worst Scots accent ever!

Get the words right!
I really enjoy the cornwell novels however the lady reading them mis pronounces enough words that it acts as a distraction and I found myself waiting to cringe at the next one. The narrator also really can’t do accents with her own so strong. I would suggest she doesn’t try as the words already identify them and the attempts again act as distraction to the story

Good story, but issues with sound in the last chapter
A typical Kay Scarpetta story, easy listening and enjoyable. However, right at the crux the audio is not great which spoils the ending a bit.

Slow start too fast finish
Was very slow to start, almost quite it. The climax was too close to end, making it a bit predictable also.

Awful narration, worse than Lorelei King.
I thought that Lorelei King's narration was bad. This was excruciating, it feels forced and unnatural. I never thought that I'd want Lorelei to narrate these books but I do, come back (nearly) all is forgiven. There must be better voice actors out there, I know there are.
I love the Scarpette series but this is mediocre compared to the others. I found it slow and lacking in any suspense.
Unfortunately the quality of this recording isn't very good either, it cuts out on multiple occasions so you miss some of the narrative.
Question: Why aren't 'The Body Farm' and 'From Potter's Field' available? You have to miss two of the books, it doesn't seem logical.
