Summary: The plot that will keep you wondering.
Review: Patricia Cornwell wrote yet another masterpiece. Like all of her other books, Patricia kept me on the edge of my set througout the whole book. If you want to read a book that has an undescribable theme and plot, then Point of Origin is the book for you. Dr. Kay Scrapetta is once again a magnificent character, and is the true heart to this story. Patricia Cornwell's use of details and imagination is the heart and soul to this everlasting story. Thanks Patricia, can't wait for your next book.

Summary: A slow starter with a very disappointing ending.
Review: I first started reading this book about a year ago and just couldn't "get into it." It is a very slow starter with a more fast paced conclusion. I have read all Patricia Cornwell's Kay Scarpetta series and was truly disappointed in Wesley's death. Where will she go from here? Worth a read but not in the same league as some of her earlier novels in the series.

Summary: Fantastic
Review: Iloved this book. I couldn't put it down. it was so interesting and such a thriller. Iloved pages 23-45 that was the best part and was so so so (I can't describe it )...

Summary: No question about it--Dr. Kay Scarpetta is unlucky in love!
Review: I have been following the Kay Scarpetta/Benton Wesley romance since day #1. Not exactly the ending that I was hoping for!

Summary: disappointing
Review: I don't know why I keep reading Patricia Cornwell's books!...Probably because I started reading from the first Kay Scarpetta book, & you can get hooked. The first Scarpetta books were excellent, the kind of books you read in one sitting. But "Point of Origin", in my opinion, was nothing like the other books. The ending depressed me- not that the author had to chose a happy ending. But one of the most interesting characters in the series is now dead...Apart from that, I found it boring that Cornwell uses the same villain over & over again. Even after being disappointed with this book though, I think I'll still read the next one! Old habits are hard to break.

Summary: Point of Origin, seemed....... point-less (sorta)
Review: I read this book about a year ago, and it didn't seem to measure up to the Scarpetta series who Cornwell has done so well with. Being a federal agent, I greatly appreciate her insight into our jobs. She has definately studied!! I was mostly impressed with Cornwell's knowledge of arson investigations. She did her homework. I was mostly let down with the story line itself. However, I will, without fail continue to read her novels with enthusiasm. Keep up the good work Ms Cornwell!

Summary: gripping story line as always, left me in tears
Review: where does one start to describe such wonderful story lines??? I will start by saying that i have read all of patricia cornwell's books and must say that i feel the series involving scarpetta and marino are by far most the best.Point of Origin as all the others had me from the first paragraph. There is non stop action and you are continually wondering what will happen next. I feel that her writing makes you feel for the characters and you actually feel like you are part of their lives. I will say that i certainly hope that there is another book coming soon, as it would be a shame to end the series that way. I will also say that i was a little upset with some of the reviews of this i read. I personally feel that Patricia Cornwell is an incredible author and will continue to read all she publishes. I also think this series would make a great movie series.....hopefully someday...keep up the good work and believe me it is good...!!

Summary: Misery, misery, misery!!!
Review: Just how much more misery can one woman take in life??? This was not the most enjoyable Kay Scarpetta book that I have read. The fire was not fully explained and the ending was too rushed. All loose ends were 'neatly' tied up all in one book - the return of Carrie, the torso murder cases and arson. These could all have been three different books. I just hope that this won't result in a "She burned in a helicopter crash but she's not really dead" story with Carrie reappearing in a later book.

Summary: Beware the spoilers in reviews that follow.
Review: First, I must warn you that some of the reviews that follow reveal major plot points. I am still angry at the "reader from Brooklyn" who spoiled what would have been a suprise for me. If you don't want the plot spoiled for you, read cautiously!I have read all the Scarpetta novels, and I am afraid I am disappointed in this one. Definately NOT one of her better efforts. It is somewhat revisionist and very dark and grim. It is not something I would recommend if you are already depressed. I'm hoping Patricia gets into a better mood for the next one!
