Cornwell's on blistering form and this absorbing thriller will keep you hooked
Forget the pretenders. Cornwell reigns
This is Scarpetta's 26th outing and the plotting remains every bit as fresh as when we were introduced to her
The top gun in this field
Cornwell knows how to craft a mean page-turner and Livid is no exception
Gripping . . . Sound the klaxon, Patricia Cornwell's brilliant chief medical examiner Dr Kay Scarpetta is back
The Agatha Christie of the DNA age
Astonishing . . . Thirty years on, there's still no other crime writer like her
A pioneer of the genre of forensic psychological thriller
I'm still seeing stars. A great thriller. One of the hardest things as a series writer is keeping your famous heroes fresh year after year. Kay Scarpetta is not only still fresh, she's the same grumpy, wonderful, riveting personality she's always been - a full-on human being - and she's only getting better with time. I love catching up with her every year
America's most stimulating and chilling writer of crime fiction
Post-mortem scenes that [will] make fans of this long-running series salivate . . . Something to look forward to
When it comes to forensic sciences, nobody can touch Cornwell
More than thirty years and twenty-six Scarpetta books later, Cornwell is still knocking it out of the park
Slick, fast-paced and brilliant
PRAISE FOR PATRICIA CORNWELL
One of the best crime writers writing today
The queen of the forensic thriller
Cutting-edge
