  <default_description>&lt;i&gt;New York Times&lt;/i&gt; bestselling author Patricia Cornwell brings back Kay Scarpetta, consulting forensic pathologist for the FBI's Behavioral Science Unit, in her grittiest and most compelling novel. In rural North Carolina, the brutal murder of eleven-year-old Emily Steiner has shaken a small town.  But more disturbing are the details of the crimes, chillingly reminiscent of the handiwork of a serial killer who has eluded the unit for years.  Into this volatile atmosphere comes Scarpetta's ingenious, rebellious niece Lucy, an FBI intern with a promising future in Quantico's computer engineering facility--until she is accused of a shocking security violation. While coming to terms with Lucy, Kay must conduct a grisly forensic investigation at a clandestine research facility in Tennessee known as the Body Farm.  There she will find more answers to Emily Steiner's murder--and evidence that paints a picture of a crime more horrifying than she imagined . . .</default_description>

Named for the facility founded by eminent forensic anthropologist, Dr. William Bass of the University of Tennessee, this is a fascinating glimpse into a real-world facilit...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/64812107">more...</a>]]></body>

Once I finish the other books on my currently-reading list I plan on picking up a few more Cornwell novels.

    <body><![CDATA[I liked these books. They are far from high level reading, but they are entertaining. Plenty of action. This one was delightfully grusome with plenty of gory descriptions. Cornwell stops short of grossing the reader out completely, but still gives the &quot;yuck&quot; factor. I liked this series.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[In the last couple of years, I've become a big mystery reader.  They are easy and move quickly and are entertaining.  This was the first Patricia Cornwell book I had read, and I will definitely read more.  I particularly enjoyed it because the setting is where I grew up and went to college.

    <body><![CDATA[This was my first Patricia Cornwell novel.  I picked it up in an airport and loved it and her.  I've read them all now.  I really identify with Kay Scarpetta on so many levels.  She is very smart and works very hard at what she does.  She tends to wear herself out and put emotions on the back burner...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/10500541">more...</a>]]></body>
