Shaw Olivia yearnran — Library Journal Review: Best known for her poetry (e.g., Manderley) and as the founder of both Fence Magazine and Fence Books, Wolff applies her lyrical dexterity with precision in her debut novel. Set in Wick, MA, the story unfolds around young Ginger Pritt’s relationship with her family; her best friend, Cherry; the town’s newest residents, flashy Theo and Raquel Motherwell; and the town’s historical role in witch trials in the late 1600s. Wolff weaves the historical narrative of the town into Ginger’s understanding of the modern forms of power she must overcome in her maturation into womanhood. As a corollary, the supernatural elements in the story are used as a form of empowerment for the female protagonist—her life might be a little more magical than her mundane surroundings would suggest. This is a quick read, but the simple prose and linear plot conceal a more complex subject. VERDICT Wolff’s debut novel is an entertaining coming-of-age story, illuminating heroic femininity experienced in everyday life. This novel will appeal to readers who enjoyed Donna Tartt’s The Little Friend or Goldberry Long’s Juniper Tree Burning.—Joshua Finnell, Denison Univ. Lib., Granville, OH

Shady Essam _hady_ssam_ph — When starting this one, I became immediately aware that I'd missed a few in the series (hmmm...isn't Benton dead?), but was not overly worried as it's just so nice to be able to spend some time with Dr. Scarpetta again. And this is a long one--weighing in at close to 600 pages, but I simply couldn't put it down and made my way through it in two evenings. I think other fans of the genre will find it equally compelling reading. In retrospect, this may well be the most complete and well-written in the Kay Scarpetta series to date. The exchange during which Kay is in a lab of the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner's (OCME) DNA Building carrying on a speakerphone conversation with Dr. Geffner regarding midwestern Gray Wolf fur vs. dog fur and the finer points of symbolism associated with the former in ritual magic while, simultaneously on the other side of the room, Lucy and Marino are tracking a muder victim's last movements via a unit she wore that recorded her vital signs and GPS locations is some of the tightest, fast-paced writing I've read in a long while. Heck, I felt my heartrate increasing as we bounced back and forth between the victim's last minutes and the painstaking range of analyses with which breaks in such cases are generated. And the fact that Kay refused to interrupt Dr. Geffner to give her full attention to Lucy and Marino was pure brilliance--is so quintessentially Dr. Scarpetta. That is, you don't interrupt the experts who make time for you out of their intensely jam-packed days simply because a hot lead develops simultaneously. Such would be as inappropriate as leaving one's cell phone sitting on the table during dinner. Kay's determination to observe manners in the face of the horrors she witnesses daily is one of the many things that makes her so endearing--okay, that and her extreme competence and determination. The Scarpetta Factor, named for a tagline used to tease viewers into watching a CNN program on which Kay appears as a forensic consultant, is Patricia Cornwell at the top of her game--in terms of the forensic and police procedural parts, in indicting cable news stations as well as the FBI in terms of how they allow out-of-control people the latitude to manipulate circumstances and ruin other peoples' lives while never acknowledging their own institutional culpability. I also very much appreciated the fact that the interpersonal tensions created between Kay and Lucy, Lucy and Berger, between Benton and Marino, etc. are not tidily resolved by book's end. Kay continues to have remarkable insight into her own circumstances and the sometimes fragile nature of what constitutes "normalcy" in her anything-but-normal existence. Altogether, this was a very fine read.

Sakshi Rajoria sakshi30rajoria — I flew through a little over the first half of this book and then it started to fall flat for me. And the way it ends feels really unresolved and boring for me. The last couple chapters are basically just long pro-socialist speeches and really hard to get through.
