post-mortem

I am currently reading the book post-mortem. I'm not really into the book yet but i have a few ideas. so far in the book a woman named lori peterson is murdered. this case is similar to 3 other murders. Dr.Scarpetta is the medical examiner who is working with detective marino to find this serial killer.

there is some evidence that can cause the husband to be a suspect. marino is 100% sure it was the husband, matt Petersen. but Dr.Scarpetta does not agree with it. she looks at every possible angle and thinks things through. marino wants to accuse him right away and is the type of cop that rely on only evidence.

as a cop you have to take your time and try to put the right guy/woman in jail. you cant just make assumptions from the evidence. yes the evidence is important but you have to think things through. somebody's freedom is at risk and you don't want to make a mistake.
