Customer Review: "Scarpetta" is Patricia Cornwell at the top of her game. The excellent character development the attention to the smallest detail is what separates Cornwell from the others. This book is right up there with some of the authors best, once I started reading it I couldn't wait to figure out who did it,... more info
Customer Review: This is truly the last Patricia Cornwell book I am going to read. First of all, I am an ative duty member of a uniformed service and I certainly hope that nobody who reads this book gets a bad impression of soldiers or sailors....the overwhelming majority of us hate war, hate killing, hate death,... more info
Customer Review: I hesitated to read this book as her recent novels were so boring, and I was right. I really couldn't get past the first few chapters.

This book pits Scarpetta against what she thinks might be the work of serial killer Temple Gault (one of Cornwell's better villians); however, the plot... more info
Customer Review: First off I've got to say: I didn't *hate* Blowfly or Trace -- even though the part about Benton's 'death' was pretty riduculous. I mean, if your loved-one kicked the bucket, and then you later found out (after months of excruciating grieving) that he was still alive, and everyone in your life knew... more info
Customer Review: Dr. Bass is very knowledgeable about the subject he has studied and taught to others for many years. It is a pleasure to read his recollections and to have the privilege of if only slightly, but of receiving first hand teachings of forensics.
