Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What was the name of Kay's first husband?

Answer: Tony

She married Tony, who she met in college after she split up with Mark James. I believe that it is mentioned that they were only married about five years.

2. Kay pushed Temple Gault into the path of an oncoming subway train in New York.

Answer: False

Kay managed to stab Temple in the thigh in "From Potter's Field". He was holding Lucy at knifepoint in the subway tunnel and Kay managed to talk him into letting her go. He tossed Lucy toward the third rail but Kay caught her before she fell.

3. Kay was attacked by the strangler in "Postmortem".

Answer: True

Luckily for Kay, Marino had been watching her house and shot the killer before he could inflict physical harm.

4. Kay knowingly cheated on Benton with Jay Talley.

Answer: False

Benton had been dead for over a year when Kay and Jay met in "Black Notice". Marino wasn't very happy about the situation.

5. What relation is Dorothy to Kay?

Answer: sister

Dorothy is Kay's narcissistic, selfish sister. Every time she is mentioned in the series she makes me angry because of her mean and spiteful ways.

6. Diane Bray impersonated Kay on the Internet.

Answer: True

That ruthless Diane Bray tried to discredit Kay's reputation by holding chat sessions online as "Dear Chief Kay" in the book "Black Notice".

7. In "Postmortem", Kay was supposed to be killed by a thug hired by Sheriff Brown.

Answer: False

Sheriff Brown hired a guy to kill Chief Scarpetta on Christmas Eve in the book "From Potter's Field" but instead the thug got killed by the sheriff and Kay was unharmed.

8. Kay broke her arm in "Unnatural Exposure".

Answer: False

Kay broke her arm running from Jean Baptiste in "Black Notice". He had impersonated a police officer to get into her house and began chasing her around the house. She threw a jar of formalin; a chemical used to permanently fix tissue, in his face and ran out the door. That's when she slipped on the ice and broke her arm.

9. What is the name of Kay's trusted friend and psychiatrist?

Answer: Dr. Zenner

Dr. Anna Zenner is an old world physician that treats the whole body and mind. She is one of Kay's most trusted friends.

Answer: Verona

Kay's mother was convinced that the Italian bloodline was pure and that the Scarpettas were from Verona, the same place "Romeo & Juliet" took place.
