The problem with reading a series out of order is that you sort of know what's going on in the background, but it doesn't quite make sense.
From Potter's Field is actually the sixth book in the Kay Scarpetta series. It's a wonderful series, and each book works well alone. (Unlike some series, that you absolutely have to read in order for them to make sense.) But because I've read the series randomly, the characters don't always behave the way I expect them to. That's my problem, though, and has nothing to say about Patricia Cornwell's talent for writing great suspense novels.
In this book, Kay is up against Temple Gaunt, a serial killer from her past. Much of the action takes place in the New York City subways, which I especially appreciated thanks to my recent trip to the City.
