Publisher's summary
Following in the path of her blockbuster Kay Scarpetta thrillers, Patricia Cornwell's novel is a testimony to the singular versatility and narrative power of one of the country's best-read storytellers. In Southern Cross she casts her shrewd and knowing eye at the men and women in blue, in a story of corruption, scandal, and murder.
Richmond, Virginia, is a city rich in Southern history yet overrun by such modern-day problems as drug trafficking and escalating juvenile crime. Former Charlotte police chief Judy Hammer is brought in to clean up the police force - the most difficult assignment of her career. Now, in the face of overwhelming public scrutiny, she must navigate through local politics and prejudices to solve a brutal murder that springs straight from the rotting core of Richmond's heart.

Story
In this first title of a new mystery series, Cornwell introduces us to a dynamic trio of crime solvers in Charlotte, North Carolina: Andy Brazil, an eager young reporter; Judy Hammer, the city's police chief; and Virginia West, Hammer's deputy and a genuine head turner. They're after a serial killer who pulls male out-of-towners from their rental cars and then mutilates, spray paints, and shoots them, in that order. What the trio uncovers jolts them like the sting of the hornet - Charlotte's symbol.

Vain and charismatic Walter Sickert made a name for himself as a painter in Victorian London.

Cornwell has collected never-before-seen archival material - including a rare mortuary photo, personal correspondence and a will with a mysterious autopsy clause - and applied cutting-edge forensic science to open an old crime to new scrutiny.

It's June in Montreal, and Dr. Temperance Brennan, who has left a shaky marriage back home in North Carolina to take on the challenging assignment of Director of Forensic Anthropology for the province of Quebec, looks forward to a relaxing weekend in beautiful Quebec City. First, though, she must stop at a newly uncovered burial site in the heart of the city. The remains are probably old and only of archeological interest, but Tempe must make sure they're not a case for the police. One look at the decomposed and decapitated corpse, stored neatly in plastic bags, tells her she'll spend the weekend in the crime lab.

On an entirely normal, beautiful fall day in Chester's Mill, Maine, the town is inexplicably and suddenly sealed off from the rest of the world by an invisible force field. Planes crash into it and fall from the sky in flaming wreckage, a gardener's hand is severed as "the dome" comes down on it, people running errands in the neighboring town are divided from their families, and cars explode on impact.

A LITTLE LACKING
Even though it is a long read it seemed scattered and rushed at times. Maybe too many main characters had too many things going on at the same time. I didn't like the cruelty of the kids in school, the bullying, and gang activity. Maybe it was too real.
I'm not sure but this book left me disturbed and not feeling resolved. It ended too quickly without peace.

Love this book!
Even better than the first in the Andy Brazil series! Patricia Cornwell colors mystery with just the right amount of quirky humor.

Not one of Cornwell’s best stories, most intelligent characters were 2 dogs and a cat

Disappointed
I read the first book in the series and liked it. This book was longer than necessary - too many irrelevant details and storylines.

Funny, fast-paced, somehow uplifting
An unusual, entertaining, vividly graphic mixture of human nature and dynamics, Murphy’s Law, real life, and imagination. Serious as well as laugh-out-loud funny. Both the writer and the voice actor clearly appreciate life’s outlandish realities as well as its predictable tedium

Funny & entertaining!
Read as the sequel to Hornet’s Nest. Every bit as good, if not funnier. Highly recommend as a light, entertaining read.

Boring!
Narration was good, but I was very disappointed in the story line. At one point I completely forgot the plot.
