Point of Origin by Patricia Cornwell
I really hate it when kids are the victims and this book has shown me that I also hate it when animals are as well. The science was still the star in this book, but the story wasn't as strong (but that might be because I was so turned off by the attack on the innocent animals to begin the book). We have arson as our method of choice this time. And it's a serial arsonist. Also, we have returned to our serial killer that spanned a few books earlier in the series; the female accomplice has broken out of the psychiatric prison she has been held in for the past five years. The serial arsonist has been working solo for a while, but he teams up with Carrie to target Kay and Lucy. He cuts the faces off of his victims, to steal their beauty. Benton is one of the victims. The arsonist is a psycho-therapist and both he and Carrie die in a helicopter crash when they are chasing Kay and Lucy, trying to kill them; but Lucy is the better pilot and the better shot. The book ends with Benton's funeral. Just when you think you've read it all, something new shows up.
