Trace (Kay Scarpetta series) by Patricia Cornwell

Sorry about the long hiatus, guys. I haven't even have time to write down all the new shows this upcoming anime season. I'm still trying to actually watch some of the anime from the previous season, as well as this current one.
But, I started to work a bit every day so it takes up some of my time. Sorry about that.
Anyhow, I recently finished a book, so let's concentrate on that for now. This isn't really a review though. I feel like I've lost a bit of the reviewing touch. I'll try pick that up with time.

Kay Scarpetta has come back to Richmond to assist in solving the mystery of Gilly Paulsson's mysterious death. The child was prefectly healthy, but still suddenly died. As Scarpetta is in Richmond, a tractor driver is killed in what is probably an accident and for some reason they find the same substances on the driver as they found in Gilly's mouth. Two weeks earlier. How are these deaths connected and what's going on with Scarpetta's niece Lucy and Scarpetta's lover Benton?

I used to really like crime stories but it was some time since I actually read one, so when I picked this out of my shelf I was feeling a bit anxious. But I really liked it. Patricia Cornwell is a good author which I've heard of but hadn't actually read anything by earlier. She portrays the characters really well and I love how it all was intertwined. Well... It should be, since it's a crime novel, right? But I still especially liked how Cornwell wrote it. One of the best novels i've read recently.

Okay, out of things to say. I should read more in English. Then it'd be easier. Maybe I'll try writing in Swedish and then translate? I don't know. We'll see in the Future...
