Reading selection: Unnatural Exposure by Patricia Cornwell

I gotta switch genre but the vampiric tempest in me will never die...the bloodsucking darlings can wait...those misfits can feast on pesky mortals without me hehhe! So why the sudden change of genre?!! tired? no. actually, I just wanna explore a bit..expose myself to other titles and such. I was contemplating on my other picks in the reading list. I narrowed down 3 options...forensics, crime scene investigation and kick ass stuff. And so, an author popped into my head...PATRICIA CORNWELL! She's into that kind of stuff so this would be interesting. I surveyed my way to the library and perused some of the titles. I was indecisive at first...flipping from title to title and BAM! found one..Unnatural Exposure.

The Heroine, Dr. Kay Scarpetta a medical examiner is dealing with a new foe. Dublin, Ireland and Richmond, Virginia: separated by thousands of miles—linked by murder. For Dr Kay Scarpetta a lecture stint in Ireland provides the perfect opportunity to find out if the murders on both sides of the Atlantic are indeed connected. Five dismembered beheaded bodies were found in Ireland years ago—now four have been discovered in the States.But the tenth corpse in Virginia is different. There are vital discrepancies, and an indication that the elderly victim was already seriously ill. A copy-cat killing. Ghoulish, perhaps, but not unusual. And then abject terror grips Scarpetta and her colleagues when the next body is found. The circumstances of death broadcast a clear and horrifying message: the killer is armed with the most lethal weapon on earth—smallpox.

The book actually will leave you at the edge of your seat maybe yet at the edge of your bed...if your reading it there. If your into gorey stuff.. a lot of dismemberment representation going on in there. Its a must read :)
