yes, i have read most of her books in the Scarpetta series and this was a first from what i could recall. when she is describing her lustful urges for that girlie and then takes her home, it was really ODD and gross to me. It's funny, i have mental images for the characters, Marino i picture as the guy from Hill Street Blues, remember him? i think Dennis something? and i picture James Woods for Benton. of course i see Patricia Cornwell herself from the pix as Dr. Scarpetta, but i don't have anyone in mind for the lesbo niece.
Dennis Franz? I really didn't watch it, but I believe he won a couple of Emmies for that series.
