Mindblowing. Could not put down the book. Makes you want to read more and more and more until you notice you juts finished the book.

And so it begins with Kay Scarpetta. I just finished reading #19. She challenges me. A quick read won't do.

A serial killer is on the loose and Kay's department is being blamed for leaking information to the media. Being a woman in a male-dominated field doesn't help. Someone she doesn't particularly care for may just be the person who can help.

I knew I should have put the book down and gotten some sleep, but Postmortem had me flipping pages. I was intrigued and not disappointed. Definitely some twists to the story. - 4 stars

*************************

I have to say Body of Evidence was okay but nothing special. It seemed to be missing the suspense of the first one in this series. - 3 stars.

*************************

In All That Remains, the vehicle of the daughter of a prominent woman has been found. Police suspect this to be another couple abduction but so far the daughter and her boyfriend remain missing. Chief Medical Examiner Kay Scarpetta along with Detective Marino are hurriedly working together but it seems as though together they are being kept from some of the details surrounding these cases. News reporter Abby Turnbull has more information about this latest case than Kay and Marino.

I thought the ending was a bit confusing.

Wanted to read this series. Read quite a few and then stopped.

Dangerous books.
Once you've started reading, you can't put it away.

I loved reading all three and learning about all the characters from the begining!!!!!

Keep guessing and you'll probably still get it wrong. I was caught way off gaurd by the ending. Cornwell does a great job of not following a predictable "formula" for her books, each is unique and interesting!

Postmortem introduces Dr. Scarpetta, who knows the smell of bone dust from a skullcap saw and how to read a body for clues via lasers, DNA, and computers. As Scarpetta slowly closes in on a killer known as Mr. Nobody, she gets the creepy, well-informed feeling that the killer is closing in on her. Cornwell's debut swept the mystery-writing awards and made her somebody. In Body of Evidence, Scarpetta investigates the murder of a Southern writer who mysteriously opened the door for her killer. In All That Remains, she hunts a serial killer of young lovers--including the daughter of the president's drug czar, which complicates the forensic chase with political intrigue.

Fataal weekend:
Mijn eerste boek van Patricia Cornwell op aanraden van een vriendin.
Ik ben zeker benieuwd naar de volgende boeken. In het begin kwam ik niet echt in het verhaal, maar hoe verder het boek vorderde (vnl. Tweede helft dan) hoe meer ik wou weten wie de moordenaar was.
Ik kon ook niet voorspellen wie de dader was, ondanks er verschillende mensen verdacht leken te worden in de loop van het verhaal.
Je merkt wel dat het boek eind jaren ’80 werd geschreven. Een computer was toen nl. Nog geen vanzelfsprekend iets, het worldwide web was ook niet wat het is. Niet dat dit storend was, het deed me gewoon opmerken hoe bepaalde technologie (internet, pc, gsm,...) nu een gewoon dagdagelijks iets is en dat we niet echt meer uit ons leven kunnen denken.

Corpus delicti:
Ook hier vroeg ik mezelf af wie de moordenaar weer was.
Ik vind de Cornwell boeken momenteel wel ok, maar ze geven me niet het gevoel van Tess Gerritsen (waar ik niet kan stoppen met lezen en verlang naar het volgende boek)

I like this book for the most part. Lots of details sometimes not tied to plot

These were the very first adult books I had read, when I was 13. WOW....theys ure left an impression on me... Loved them
