by Author Patricia Cornwell

Black Notice (2000)

Body of Evidence (2004)

Cornwell brings Dr. Kay Scarpetta back in the critically acclaimed series to test her wiles in a new and disturbing manner. When a murdered author is found in her home, investigators are left with little to know insight, which bothers Scarpetta almost as much as the slaying itself. Questions grow...

Four Scarpetta Novels: The Last Precinct / Blow Fly / Predator / The Book of the Dead (2009)

I just finished reading these novels and boy what a ride. I've read many of Cornwell's Scarpetta novels but never four in a row. I've never read them in order so these books put some order to the events I've read. The characters in the Scarpetta series never seem to have a relatively normal life...

Book

Blow Fly (2004)

I read 'Point of Origin', 'Black Notice', and 'The Last Precinct' in quick succession as they are very much interlinked and there is a definite sense of continuity between them. I then picked up 'Blow Fly' a short time later...In all honesty, I haven't finished the book yet. It's possible that I...

Cause of Death (2007)

On New Year’s Eve in 1995, Ted Eddings is murdered. It would not be the last death of the year in Virginia, but it would certainly be the most important. Eddings was an AP reporter with a charming demeanor and was one of the few media people Kay Scarpetta allowed even close to the inner areas of ...

Unnatural Exposure (2015)

A torso has been found in a Virginia landfill – just the torso, no legs, no arms, no head. This is the fifth one to be found in a landfill in several months and the tenth to be found internationally with the same MO. Only it’s not exactly the same MO. This time the appendages are severed through ...

Point of Origin (2015)

Carrie Grethen is back – as in on the very first page, back. She has sent Kay Scarpetta a letter, scrawled in red, full of disjointed phrasing. But as Benton Wesley studies the letter, he realizes that those disjointed ramblings are really challenges, threats and promises. At this point, Carrie h...

Trace (2005)

Trace by Patricia Cornwell is a Scarpetta Novel. Patricia Cornwell writes this story in three settings like: South Florida; Richmond, Virginia; and also in Aspen. The story mostly takes place in Richmond, Virginia, in modern time. It’s written in third-person omniscient, but the story mainly rev...

Book of the Dead (2007)

Ugh. What is WRONG with Patricia Cornwell? This book stinks. And in the spirit of throwing myself on a grenade (reading it so you don't have to) I will review this one.First of all, Cornwell continues her de-evolution of her characters that started somewhere about "The Body Farm." She totally jum...

Scarpetta Factor (2001)

New Years Resolution Book #12. I'm a big fan of crime and for me there used to be nothing better than Patricia Cornwell. The first 10 books were fantastic - page turners yes but well crafted with real characters too. And then she took a break, and then she came back, and the new ones for me va...

The Scarpetta Factor (2001)

Slightly better than the last four or five novels in the Scarpetta series. At one time, I purchased a Patricia Cornwell book as soon as it hit the shelf, but as you can see, I've put off reading this one for 3 or 4 years because the last few were so disappointing. It was almost as if another auth...

Flesh and Blood (2014)

Another cop out ending. What is the deal? Why does the reader have to learn what happened at the climax second hand ? That sucks. Also, the book seemed a bit disjointed and honestly, not that good. After 22 books, what else can Kay Scarpetta actually do that she hasn't done before? Answer: not...

Port Mortuary (2010)

Not a good one. Just read last 3 chapters. Don't bother. Skipped through long dull passages.

Red Mist (2011)

Cornwell is definitely a good writer. This is another good murder mystery from her. At the beginning of the book, I got the feeling (once again, with Cornwell's books) that I had been dropped down in the middle of a whirlpool, with events happening one after the other, all around me. Like no o...

The Bone Bed (2012)

Mmm a strange one. These characters were so annoying I wanted to slap them. I felt I was back in high school when everyone was being insulted by everyone else or thought they were! What grown adult acts like such a child looking for insults in every personal transaction? Grow up you people!! ...
