Exactly. But what turned me off the series is that Scarpetta is the most blatant Mary Sue I've ever run across in professionally published fiction.
I really dislike both Scarpetta and the series, yet for some insane reason I keep reading them--in fact I have the latest one out from the library.
she is involved in a long term relationship with a top FBI guy who is insane about her AND she has a long-term would-be lover/friend in a local police chief.
But, in all fairness, Marino is such a complete slob that it would be like Egrorian walking three steps behind Jenna with a bouquet.
