Review Quotes: Praise for Patricia Cornwell and the Scarpetta series:
"Cornwell brings [compulsive murderers] to full, frightening life."--The New York Times Book Review
"Cornwell remains the master of incorporating real-life science into pulse-pounding fiction."
--The Philadelphia Inquirer "Cornwell has created a character so real, so compelling, so driven that this reader has to remind herself regularly that Scarpetta is just a product of an author's imagination."
--USA Today "Cornwell certainly is skilled at dissecting the not always attractive innards of human nature."
--Forbes
