About This Audiobook
Black Notice returns Kay Scarpetta to Richmond under fresh professional and personal pressures, investigating a grim death aboard a container ship while processing the loss of her closest ally. Cornwell expands the European dimensions of the series, connecting the Richmond investigation to Scarpetta's Belgian contacts and the darkness that seems to pursue her wherever she practices her forensic work.
Kate Reading narrates with a precision that suits Cornwell's technical forensic detail, giving Scarpetta the cool professional composure that defines her under pressure while allowing the personal vulnerability in this particular novel its proper weight. The thirteen-hour runtime makes this among the fuller entries in the audio series.
