Crime Series #10

 Black Notice by Patricia Cornwell 

The science is still the best part of this series. Especially since this one was a little far fetched. Not the murders, those were entirely plausible; the travel is what was unbelievable this time. Kay and Morino ended up in France because of this case. Not because of their work with with the FBI task force. They had been communicating with Interpol and one of the agents paid for them to come, out of his personal account. Then, because Kay isn't handling Benton's death well, she slept with him and then immediately gave him the cold shoulder. Girl needs some therapy. Also, Lucy was working undercover and the op went bad. Then, they are all back in Virginia and Kay gets attacked by the killer in her own home, but luckily she had an acid solution within easy reach and was able to throw it in his eyes. It compromises some evidence, but at least she's alive. Lucy shows up and almost shoots him when he's not an active danger to Kay and now she's on leave. Lucy also needs some therapy. And the killer has a genetic condition that makes him grow hair all over his body so he calls himself the werewolf, but in french because he's from France. Also, we had a new police chief or someone and she hated Morino and gave him a new job, but that didn't last long because she got killed by the werewolf and her boss moved Morino back to the detective squad. This one was a bit much, but the science is still fascinating.
