From Potter's Field by Patricia Cornwell
All of the characters were pissing me off in this book. Even Lucy. This focused entirely on the serial killer from the previous two books. He killed a homeless woman in Central Park who ended up being his twin sister. We only found that out because Kay showed up at his parents' house and talked to them about her; she was pretty sure who the body was at that point because of her unique teeth. Also, the government was trying to stop her from investigating because his uncle was a Medal of Honor recipient and they didn't want to tarnish his reputation; too late for that. Kay ends up stabbing him on the subway tracks after the kidnaps then releases Lucy. He was surprised that she not only stabbed him, but with how much he was bleeding. And then he dies. Kay is still having her affair. Lucy has started smoking. Marino is still a jerk. Despite the fact that all of the characters were irritating me, the mystery is interesting and the storytelling is well done. I will be continuing the series.
