Cutting-edge
The queen of the forensic thriller
More than thirty years and twenty-six Scarpetta books later, Cornwell is still knocking it out of the park
One of the best crime writers writing today

PRAISE FOR PATRICIA CORNWELL
Forget the pretenders. Cornwell reigns
Cornwell knows how to craft a mean page-turner and Livid is no exception
America's most stimulating and chilling writer of crime fiction
Slick, fast-paced and brilliant
I'm still seeing stars. A great thriller. One of the hardest things as a series writer is keeping your famous heroes fresh year after year. Kay Scarpetta is not only still fresh, she's the same grumpy, wonderful, riveting personality she's always been - a full-on human being - and she's only getting better with time. I love catching up with her every year
A pioneer of the genre of forensic psychological thriller
The top gun in this field
