I must say, I loved Black Notice, but I also thought it was out of character
for Scarpetta to open the door (sorry to spoil the ending for anyone
planning to read it)! But The Last Precinct (her latest) discusses that as
well, and it all becomes a lot clearer (Marino was disgusted with her for
opening the door too) - in fact, I'd say The Last Precinct is kind of the
second half of Black Notice, which ended in a strange place. I started it
Tuesday, finished Wednesday, and am now re-reading it to get all the bits I
missed 'cos I was in such a hurry to see what happened!

The Stand is also my favourite Stephen King, but the second "uncut and
unabridged" version, where he goes into much more detail about some of the
minor characters.
