Editorial Review Product Description Patricia Cornwell and James Patterson: Author One-on-One James Patterson is one of the bestselling writers of all time, with more than 170 million copies of his books sold worldwide. He is the author of two of the most popular detective series of the past decade, featuring Alex Cross and the Women's Murder Club, and he also writes nonfiction and The Maximum Ride series for young readers. Read on to see James Patterson's questions for Patricia Cornwell, orturn the tables to see what Cornwell asked Patterson. Patterson:Here's a chance to say all the great things the critics would about The Scarpetta Factor, if there were any newspapers left that still reviewed books.Or, as they say in the TV interviews: Tell us about this one, Patricia. Cornwell: As was true in the last book (Scarpetta), the new one is set in New York City, and it begins with Kay Scarpetta working on the autopsy of a young woman who presumably was murdered the night before in Central Park. While the apparent circumstances of the violent crime say one thing, the body is telling Scarpetta a very different and incredibly disturbing story that causes the prosecutor, the police, other officials, and even Scarpetta's friends and colleagues, to wonder if she's making mistakes or has begun to believe her own legend. While others are questioning and criticizing her, she begins to doubt herself and her decision to be the senior forensic analyst for CNN—an exposure that possibly leads to her BlackBerry disappearing and a suspicious package being left for her at her apartment building. As the intrigue unfolds, the past is no longer past, and she is soon faced with an old nemesis who threatens to be her final undoing. Customer Reviews (279)

Dr. Kay Tries to Find a Killer Before he Strikes Again
Very disappointing, probably the worst book Patricia Cornwell ever wrote.
All That Remains is the desire to read more Scarpetta books
More character-driven than some other Scarpetta's |

list price: US$9.99 -- used & new: US$4.75 (price subject to change: see help) Asin: 0425218929 Average Customer Review: Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France | Japan | |
Editorial Review Product Description Unnatural Exposure boasts brisk storytelling, cracklingdialogue, evocative prose about forensic-science sleuthing, and crispcharacter sketches, both of familiar characters like Scarpetta's gruffpartner Pete Marino and bit players like the landfill employee falselyaccused by Ring. Plus, let's face it: serial killers are oldhat. Cornwell's most vivid villains are highly plausible backstabbingcolleagues like Ring, who plots to destroy Lucy's FBI career by outingher as a lesbian. Some readers object to the rather abrupt ending,but, hey, it's less jarring than Hannibal's, and it'sthe logical culmination of Cornwell's philosophy about humannature. To illuminate the novel's finale, read Cornwell's remarks onparanoia in her Amazon.com interview. --Tim Appelo Customer Reviews (266)
Unnaturally Good, Just Not Great
Unnatural Exposure
She does it again....
unrealistic plot but still a fun read

Editorial Review Product Description Perhaps because Kate Reading has also narrated Cornwell's Unnatural Exposureand Cause ofDeath, her voice conveys experience and the history of whathas come before, allowing listeners to hear between the lines. Using asubtle but effective range of vocal inflections, Reading lifts thecharacters off the page and carries them along as the plot spins everfaster, tangling Scarpetta in a snarl of arson, deceit, andpsychopathic murder. With her arch nemesis making threats andsuspicious fires leaving calcified corpses, Dr. Scarpetta'slong-overdue romantic getaway has gone up in smoke. It's just one moreday at the morgue, and Point of Origin, another hit in thepopular series of Scarpetta mysteries, finds the good doctor'sattitude honed razor sharp. (Running time: 11 hours, eight cassettes)--George Laney Customer Reviews (515)

Editorial Review Product Description Despite her personal problems, Scarpetta is still the reigning diva at thedepartment of death. She is sent to investigate the putrefied remains of aman found inside a container ship, "eyes bulged froglike, and the scalpand beard were sloughing off with the outer layer of darkening skin." Kayfinds strange, animal-like hairs on the man's clothing--the same hairs thatshe discovers on a murdered store clerk a few days later. In actuality, thebizarre killings extend well beyond Virginia; whoever killed the Richmondvictims also butchered people in France. Kay and police captain PeteMarino are whisked off to Paris where they must collect top-secretinformation from a Paris morgue, and avoid becoming victims themselves. This macabre tome is the stuff that classic Scarpetta tales are madeof: creepy but compulsive autopsy scenes, plentiful plot twists, and thecompelling, if slightly more vulnerable chief medical examiner herself.--Naomi Gesinger Customer Reviews (631)

Editorial Review Product Description The "book of the dead" is the morgue log, a ledger in which all cases are entered by hand. For Kay Scarpetta, however, it is about to take on a new meaning. Fresh from her bruising battle with a psychopath in Florida, Scarpetta decides it's time for a change of pace, not only personally and professionally but geographically. Moving to the historic city of Charleston, South Carolina, she opens a unique private forensic pathology practice, one in which she and her colleagues-including Pete Marino and her niece, Lucy-offer expert crime-scene investigation and autopsy services to communities lacking local access to modern, competent death investigation technology. It seems like an ideal situation, until the new battles start-with local politicians, with entrenched interests, with someone whose covert attempts at sabotage are clearly meant to run Scarpetta out of town. And that's before the murders and other violent deaths even begin. A young man from a well-known family jumps off a water tower. A woman is found ritualistically murdered in her multimillion-dollar beach home. The body of an abused young boy is discovered dumped in a desolate marsh. Meanwhile, in distant New England, problems with a prominent patient at a Harvard-affiliated psychiatric hospital begin to hint at interconnections that are as hard to imagine as they are horrible. Kay Scarpetta has dealt with many brutal and unusual crimes before, but never a string of them as baffling, or as terrifying, as the ones confronting her now. Before she is through, that book of the dead will contain many names-and the pen may be poised to write in her own. The first name in forensics. The last name in suspense. Once again, Patricia Cornwell proves her exceptional ability to entertain and enthrall. Customer Reviews (713)
