Resumen del Editor

#1 bestselling author Patricia Cornwell returns to the chilling world of gutsy medical examiner Kay Scarpetta in this classic forensic thriller.

Little Emily Steiner left a church meeting late one afternoon and strolled toward home along a lakeside path; a week later, her nude body was discovered, bound in blaze-orange duct tape. Called by the North Carolina authorities, forensic pathologist Kay Scarpetta recognizes similarities to the gruesome work of a serial killer who has long eluded the FBI. But as she tries to make sense of the evidence, she is left with questions that lead her to the Body Farm, a little known research facility in Tennessee where, with the help of some grisly experiments, she might discover the answer.

It is Scarpetta alone who can interpret the forensic hieroglyphics that eventually reveal a solution to the case as staggering as it is horrifying. But she must also endeavor to help her niece, Lucy, who is embroiled in controversy at Quantico. And Scarpetta, too, is vulnerable, as she opens herself to the first physical and emotional bond she has felt in far too long a time. Tenacious and brilliant, tender and gentle, this is Scarpetta even more realized and poignant than we’ve seen her before—in a stunning achievement from a bestselling author at the peak of her powers.

Great

Love the story and surprise at the end. Kept us engaged. We love the Scarlett’s series.

Narrator and Story Magnificent

You will not want to stop listening, in fact I am totally addicted to the stories in this series as well as the narrator.

Another great Scarpetta book!!

As with the other books in this series, the story line was good and so was the narration. I love that the same narrator is used.

A great twist

A fan of Patricia Cornwell. A great book to listen to on a long trip.

Great narration

Usual compelling story and characters are enhanced by excellent narration of CJ Critters. Highly recommend.

Lots of Twists I was not expecting

Hearing it as I read along is awesome!! Makes all the words come alive!! Thank you

Always worth a re-read/listen

Patricia Cornwell never disappoints. While some technologies are somewhat dated, the storyline stands the test of time. Narration by C.J. Critt so engrained in Dr Kay Scarpetta that I can’t imagine another voice.

Love hearing C J Critt reading Scarpetta

This is one of the older Scarpetta books. The early Scarpetta books were narrated by C J Critt. Love that it is now in Audible format. Would love to see From Potters Field and Predator in Audible format as well!

Great- Lots to twists and turns

I really enjoyed this book. Lots of twists and turns. The characters were very interesting. Kept me on the edge of my seat. Could not put it down.

Kay's love for her niece stood out most to me.

I liked that it was set in an area I know. I didn't like that she didn't have her weapon on her because she was going to church. That was lame, especially since she was still investigating the case, was on her suspect's home turf, and seemed intent on going to her house anyway. Overall, I liked the book though.
