Body of Evidence

Patricia Cornwell\’s Scarpetta series: I never read her books when they were first published, so I was excited to try this series now that I have more time to read & based on the reviews that I had read. I have to say that the first two books of her series read pretty well, however, they do show their age. Nothing wrong with this, but clearly, these are dated novels. I only mention this because to me the ebooks are overpriced based on how old they are- Amazon is asking a premium for novels that are decades old. Plus, I see that the Spanish ebk editions are all 6.99, & to me this is about what they are worth in English also. I hate price-gouging!!! I would like to read the series, but it won\’t be by the ebook version at the $10 a pop listed- outrageous price for books this old!!! Bring the price down so that more people can experience these books! Also, as far as Cornwell\’s writing goes, some of the passages were choppy & could have been written in a more seamless manner for better clarity. Good book, not spectular, & certainly not worth 9.99 each!!!

Absolutely LOVE Patrica Cornwell. Every time I think I have it figured out, she comes along and surprises the heck out of me. The first book was good. This book was better and I have a feeling she\’s going to keep surprising me the more I read. I love the characters. Especially Marino. He\’s hard around the edges but I can tell he\’s a sweet ol\’ bear. Sometimes the forensics speech is a little much but the more I read, the better I am able to decipher. Anytime an author can make me reach beyond my intelligence is good by me. The writing is solid. The descriptions are impeccable. She really transports you into the thick of it. She is a phenomenal writer. Highly recommend her in general.

*An excellent novel by bestselling author Patricia Cornwall featuring the infamous Dr. Kay Scarpetta doing what she does best by pursuing the guilty!……..Hoping for a quiet evening at home and a chance to relax after a very busy day at work,chief medical examiner of Richmond Virginia,Dr. Kay Scarpetta knew very well that the chances of that was never going to happen.

I have just recently happened upon a Patricia Cornwell that was #5 in the line of Kay Scarpetta novels. Now I am hooked and am trying to read them all as much in order as possible. This book, Body of Evidence, came right on time, looked as good as new, and was a great read.

I\’ve read most of the Scarpetta books and have enjoyed the first 6 or 7 the most. The story lines are complex and the details into the life of a medical examiner fascinated me. I love Marino because he is a breath of fresh air. The plot and the content of how evidenc is uncovered from policework and the analysis of the dead is really compelling. I\’d suggst doing the \”read inside\” preview to see if it\’s your kind of book. I skim over the grizzly parts-but I\’m kind of a wimp. My Husband Ran Off with the Nanny and God Do I Miss Her
