I just finished Déjà Dead by Kathy Reichs. I thought it was a good story, the pacing and the way the pieces gradually fell into place was just right, but her writing style is a little rough around the edges and some of the similies she employs are just plain weird. I find myself bouncing between a preference for forensic science heavy procedurals and fluffier cozies. For the moment, my preferences lean toward the former. I zipped my way through the first 10 Kay Scarpetta novels, found my interest waning with the 11th, and was so disgusted by the 12th that I gave up halfway through. I've enjoyed the first four volumes of the Body Farm series that's co-written by Bill Bass and John Jefferson, although I thought that the third book in that series was the weakest.
