#1 New York Times bestselling author Patricia Cornwell’s heart-stopping thriller featuring gutsy medical examiner Kay Scarpetta.

In Richmond, Virginia, young lovers are dying. So far, four couples in the area have disappeared, only to be found months later as mutilated corpses. When the daughter of the president’s newest drug czar vanishes along with her boyfriend, Dr. Kay Scarpetta knows time is short. Following a macabre trail of evidence that ties the present homicides to a grisly crime in the past, Kay must draw upon her own personal resources to track down a murderer who is as skilled at eliminating clues as Kay is at finding them.

I really enjoy the forensics and details of Patricia Cornwell’s stories and All That Remains was no different.  The story was very gripping and I didn’t want to put the book down.  I didn’t suspect who the killer was until near the end and the journey to get to the knowledge of who the killer was didn’t seem far-fetched, which is something I like because it helps make the story more believable.
