Postmortem by Patricia Daniels CornwellMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
A serial killer is stalking the women of Richmond, Virginia, brutally killing them while they sleep. Kay Scarpetta is the Chief Medical Examiner and has personally autopsied all of the victims. She teams up with Benton Wesley, an FBI profiler, and Pete Marino, a Richmond detective to find the killer.
I initially read this book back in the 1990s when it was first published, and subsequently read more than twenty of the novels in this series. The current Prime streaming series "Scarpetta"starring Nicole Kidman renewed my interest and I wanted to re-read this book to see if it as compelling as it was 30+ years ago. The answer is YES - it's quite a page-turner and I stayed up way too late several nights in order to finish it. Highly recommended, but I also suggest that you read these books in order (no surprise there because this is almost always my suggestion!).
