Search - Postmortem (Kay Scarpetta, Bk 1)

Convincing mystery that is thrilling right to the end. This is the first in the Kay Scarpetta series and I will be sure to read the others.

A brilliant human monster-A"mr. Nobody"-moves undetected through a paralyzed city, leaving behind a gruesome trail of carnage...but few clues. With an unerring eye and the latest advances in forensic research, medical examiner Kay Scarpetta sets out to unmask a maniac. But someone os trying to sabotasge Kasy's investigation from the inside. And someome wants her dead...

I just read this book on the recommendation of a coworker....and now I am definitely planning to read more in the Kay Scarpetta series by this author. Well written, compelling storytelling, unexpected turns...a must read.

Very good - she makes you want to grow up to be just like Kay Scarpetta! (although it's a little too late for that!)

This is the first Kay Scarpetta novel. VERY interesting .. particularly in how things have changed - in this one, the ME's office has one shared computer, DNA is not a big factor, etc. Good storyline and fascinating to read if you want to start from the beginning. Lucy is in it, but she's 10 years old (a computer whiz though!)

I liked it alot. The forensic aspects of it are nice.. It was a little hard for me to get into though.. Will definatly continue on in the series though. I love female leads
