I was only made aware of Cornwell's existence sometime last year. But I didn't consider trying her books until this month when I was wandering through my local library trying to find a fiction book to check out. I'd already skimmed through her Twitter and noted she spent a lot of time getting hands ...
4.25Ok, that book was a very pleasant surprise and I find the fact that it has been written in 1990 one of the pluses I got reading it for the first time in 2016, because It was such a true and real journey to the past. This book was quite a thrilling detective story. I am a fan of Keith McCarthy an...

My first read of a Patricia Cornwell mystery. I must say that I have read all the Kathy Reichs books and the Kay Scarpetta character does not compare to the one in the Reichs series. So, if you are looking for scientific forensic pathology, you should pass on the Kay Scarpetta character books.I wa...
Really enjoyed this. Suspect I didn't mind the technical chunks as they are processes that I've done in uni. Well written and good twists and turns. No chance that you could work out the killer on your own though.
