Produktbeschreibungen
From Library Journal
This award-winning novel based on Richmond's real-life "South Side Strangler" case introduced Virginia's chief medical examiner, Kay Scarpetta, and launched Cornwell's career. Narrator Lorelei King generally has a pleasant reading voice and uses good pacing to build suspense. However, this is not a successful merger of book and reader for American ears. Listeners may be confused to hear that Kay wears "cocky" (khaki), for instance, and accenting the second syllable of such words as modem and condom distract the listener from the story. Furthermore, the voices of supporting characters (such as Marino, a "stoopid" New Jersey cop, and Lucy, a fussy Southern child) are stereotypical. Fortunately, an unabridged version of Postmortem is available from several other producers, including Recorded Books (Audio Reviews, LJ 2/15/94). Not recommended.?Juleigh Muirhead Clark, Williamsburg, Va.

I read this book after having read some of her later ones, expecting this early effort to be better. Actually, it was, because Kay is more likeable and not as frustrated and enraged as she seems to become in the later books. I was disappointed in the denouement because Cornwell broke an unwritten rule of the mystery-writing field: don't have your villain suddenly appear on the last page. Introduce him early so the reader does not feel cheated. This villain was an obscure little guy who is not a character at all in that he doesn't move or speak in the narrative. The romance with Boltz seemed pointless, since he just disappears out of the story midway, and the child prodigy on the computer who makes the surrounding adults look like a bunch of idiots has become a cliche. I don't know who thought of this first, but it's old stuff. I found the technical data interesting, but the plot was episodic; and the detail about taking the bullets out of the gun every day was a plot device that stood out like a red flag. An experienced mystery reader sees that and says, "AHA!" Taken all in all, this novel makes a promise that has not been fulfilled.

I've never read her, but picked up this book as a result of Amazon's author recommendation. I'm in the medical field & think Cornwell does an awesome job describing the cases on Dr.Scarpetta, ME. I will be buying & reading ALL of Cornwell's books this summer!

A year ago I picked up my first ever crime/fiction novel, "Body Of Evidence" by Patrica Cornwell ever since I've been hooked. Anyone who hasn't read a Kay Scarpetta novel doesn't know what they are missing and for those who have, you love this one as much as the others. The characters are well researched and interesting and the plot is full of twists which will ensure your never bored. This book has only added to my addiction to Kay Scarpetta. I would recommend anyone who hasn't already, to get their hands on a Kay Scarpetta novel ASAP.

Ein spannendes Buch, das sehr gut in die Welt von Kay Scarpetta einführt und im englischen sogar noch mehr zu fesseln vermag, als im deutschen! Lesen Sie weiter...

Tedious plot complicated by inept descriptions.
The plot of this novel plods along slowly with several useless side bars. If you can stick out the first 100+ pages, the second half of the book picks up the pace. Lesen Sie weiter...
