Kay Scarpetta #1
Postmortem
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Patricia Cornwell comes Postmortem, the groundbreaking thriller that introduced Dr. Kay Scarpetta and redefined the crime genre.
A killer is stalking the streets of Richmond, Virginia. When the bodies begin to mount, Chief Medical Examiner Kay Scarpetta is pulled into a chilling investigation that blends high-stakes forensics with psychological warfare. Armed with cutting-edge science and unflinching resolve, Scarpetta must navigate hostile forces both inside and outside the investigation—because someone isn’t just trying to hide the truth. They’re trying to kill her.
Cornwell’s gift for combining cutting-edge criminology with nerve-shattering suspense makes this book a true modern classic. Relentlessly paced and shockingly prescient, Postmortem is the electrifying first chapter in the Scarpetta series—still as razor-sharp and relevant as ever.

S obzirom koliko je nagradjivana, očekivala sam mnogo više :(
Dajem joj 3.5 ✨ zato što su neki delovi fantastični. Ovo je prva knjiga koju sam pročitala da je davala u detalje načine na koje se ispituje žrtvino telo, otisci i kako se sklapa profil ubice. To je bilo savršeno. Ali jedini razlog što je autorka uspela da to uradi jeste taj što se bavila tim poslom😂.
Inače knjiga mi je skroz prosečna, u delovima jako naporna, sa nepotrebnim opisima.
Nije mi jasno zašto se ljudima toliko svidela🤷🏻♀️
