My Review: Red Mist was my first Patricia Cornwell audiobook. Crazy, right? Cornwell is a best selling author and I can’t believe I waited this long to listen to her work.

Red Mist is the 19th audiobook in the Kay Scarpetta series. Since I hadn’t listened to any of her other audiobooks, I was worried I’d be completely lost when I started this one. Thankfully, I was wrong and Cornwell does a quick recap at the beginning. This might have been a tidbit boring if I had listened to the previous books but it worked out perfectly for me.

I don’t want to say too much, but I will say I’m not sure where I stand on Kay’s character. Just when I think I’m really starting to like her, something makes me rethink my stance. She’s always on guard… Sometimes when it’s not needed. But I guess if I’d almost been killed, maybe I’d think differently.

I think the publisher’s summary gives just the right amount of information and I refuse to tell you more. You’ll have to grab this one and take a listen, you won’t be disappointed.

As for my first Patricia Cornwell audiobook, loved it.

Narrator Review: Kate Burton was perfect for this audiobook. Her narration of of Kay’s character made her qualities shine. She was a bit monotone at some points during the audiobook, but in a way I thought it showed Kay’s level-headed attitude. Overall, great naration.
