Amazon Prime lend for August 2015.
Could not wait to read it.
Fast read and once again a great book in the series.
Comparing this to other books, I prefer this short read to the longer ones, where often the story drags, often in the middle, and a lot of added descriptions (places, plants, animals) is unnecessary and does add nothing to the story or suspense.
With Zombies and the real background, I was surprised, that no book by Wade Davis was mentioned, I read the [b:The Serpent and the Rainbow|31490|The Serpent and the Rainbow|Wade Davis|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1386925594s/31490.jpg|2155703] (which was filmed as a Horror-Movie by Wes Craven). While film is questionable, but I really like it, the books is no fiction, but a real life account about a pharma-concern who sends a young doctor (Davis) on a strange journey to discover chemical substances for use in medicine - and one of them is the the combination of poison, mentioned in the Jenna Blake-book which is used to fake death and control people. The Davis-book is complete with pictures, and I highly recommend it.
Meets the eye is short, but well written, very bloody in places and again Jenna is in danger. As nearly always.
Did not really see the final twist coming with the Mastermind behind it all (ok, I have not really thought about it, being caught up in the suspense and action).
Highly recommended and could be read as a standalone, while there is continuity, most story-lines are explained and if you read the books in short time, as I did with the last one and this one, it may feel a bit repetitive. Still, I rate this one 5 stars and think it was even better, than the last one.

Every time I start reading a book in the Body of Evidence Series, I'm immediately reminded of how much I enjoy the actual mysteries that abound in these stories. Sure, I love the characters, especially Jenna Blake, but the interesting story lines are what keep this series fresh, fun, exciting, and interesting.

After the last case that Jenna worked on in the Somerset Medical Examiner's office (SOUL SURVIVOR), she decided she'd had enough. She quit her job as a deiner for the M.E., even though she had become friends with both Dr. Slikowski and Al Dyson. She's spending more time with her best friends, Yoshiko and Hunter, and she's finally becoming an actual girlfriend to Damon. She hasn't done much looking back or wavering about quitting her job--well, maybe a little--since she made her decision, until two things change her mind: 1) during a frat party at DTD, a freshman drops dead at her feet and even her CPR attempts fail to revive him, and 2) Jenna sees with her own two eyes what appears to be someone bringing a dead person back to life--as a zombie.

Jenna knows that, scientifically, there is no room allowed for zombies or people who come back from the dead. But when a body comes alive and starts screaming during its autopsy, all of her previous beliefs fly out the window. Suddenly, Jenna is thrust into yet another mystery, this one of mind-bending proportions. Why are seemingly dead people coming back to life to commit crimes? How can a person be declared dead only to come back to life on a steel slab? Why are these "zombies" acting as if their brain power is gone, doing only violent, evil things instead of the normal, sane things they did before their "deaths"?

And when this time it's Dyson who gets a little too close to danger, Jenna and Slick must work together to put an end to this zombie business--before someone else ends up being one of the undead.

Once again, I read this installment in the life and times of Jenna in one sitting. Although I stayed up past midnight to do it (thanks, Mr. Golden!) I wasn't disappointed in the least. And, as always, I can't wait to read the next book in the series! ( )

The Body of Evidence series is about Jenna Blake a College student who gets a job as the Medical Examiners assistant. She helps out with the autopsies and everything it entails.

Jenna's back in the 4th novel and its spookier than working in a morgue, or since the dead seem to come back to life, maybe the morgue is spookier! ( )
