Book of the Dead by Patricia Cornwell
I did not like this as much as some of the previous books. We start in Italy with a dead tennis star. Then we have a dead little boy in South Carolina. Kay and Pete are on the outs. Benton has proposed and that sends Pete into a tailspin. He has a new girlfriend and she is bad news. We have a funeral home attendant who goes outside the bounds of propriety and ends up dead. And we have Dr. Self, the TV and radio psychologist from a previous book. It turns out that the killer is the son of Dr. Self and the Italian medical examiner. She was a minor when they were together and had the child. He joined the military and came back changed. He also had a relationship with Petes' current girlfriend; the dead little boy is their child. There was a lot going on in this book and while all of the story lines were completed, it felt too convoluted at the end. Not the strongest book in the series.
