Postmortem by Patricia Cornwell
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Patricia Cornwell‘s Postmortem was my first foray into the forensic science crime novel. While I am fully capable of reading detailed descriptions of gore and autopsies without getting sick, I was a tad worried that it would get too technical where I’d lose some of the understanding of the medical aspects. While it happens on occasion, the editors and author have done a great job at finding the perfect level of language to keep the words flowing properly most of the time.
Scarpetta is a true hero — someone to admire, someone to fear. She will always solve the case even in the most intricate complex ones out there. The style is strong, the descriptions and setting vivid. You feel like you are in the story along side the protagonist.
It’s been a while since I’ve read this series… I have 4 I need to get back to in the near future!
