From Amazon.com

New York Times 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 . . . --Ce texte provient d'une édition qui n'est plus publiée ou qui est non diponible.


From Publishers Weekly

Cornwell ( Body of Evidence ; All That Remains ) casts a wider, surer narrative net in the latest case set for her increasingly complex heroine, Kay Scarpetta, Chief Medical Examiner for the Commonwealth of Virginia. As an FBI consultant, Scarpetta investigates the North Carolina murder of 11-year-old Emily Steiner, whose mutilation suggests the M.O. of an escaped killer met previously in Cruel and Unusual. Forensic clues from the body's second autopsy prompt Scarpetta to request that certain experiments be made at the University of Tennessee's Decay Research Facility, known as the Body Farm. Meanwhile, she, Pete Marino of the Richmond, Va., police, and her new love interest, FBI Unit Chief Benton Wesley investigate the apparent suicide (from autoerotic asphyxiation) of the local FBI agent in charge of the case. Then, Scarpetta's computer-whiz niece Lucy, working at FBI headquarters at Quantico, is charged with violating security. During her travels between North Carolina and Virginia, Scarpetta worries about both the less-than-forthcoming Lucy and Marino, who becomes emotionally entangled with Emily's beautiful stricken mother. Results at the Body Farm lead her to a convincing, if abrupt, resolution. Deeper characterization and a more intricate plot mark this fifth in a consistently compelling series. 500,000 first printing; paperback rights to Berkley; audio rights to Simon & Schus ter; Literary Guild selection.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Dead bodies and romance don't mix well, Nov. 23 2007
Par Amanda Richards "Modest to the extreme" (Georgetown, Guyana) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Body Farm (Paperback)
For reasons unknown to even myself, I've been reading this series completely out of order. This is the fifth book in the series of fifteen (to date), and the one with the most forensics out of the ones that I have read.

Postmortem(1990)
Body of Evidence (1991)
All That Remains (1992)
Cruel and Unusual (1993)
The Body Farm (1994)
From Potter's Field (1995)
Cause of Death (1996)
Unnatural Exposure (1996)
Point of Origin (1998)
Black Notice (1999)
The Last Precinct (2000)
Blow Fly (2003)
Trace (2004)
Predator (2005)
Book of the Dead (2007)

The main story is about the murder of an eleven year old girl in North Carolina, where the methods used and evidence found are similar to murders committed by a known serial killer. To complicate matters, the agent investigating the matter is discovered dead under strange and unusual circumstances and some incriminating evidence is found in his home.

In a sub-plot, Scarpetta's niece Lucy is under investigation for a possible security breach, and a family crisis follows soon after. Last, and certainly least, romance is in bloom for all the main characters, not always with the desired results.

If you ignore the sub-plots, affairs and unlikely romantic scenarios, the rest of the book gets down to the business of finding the girl's killer, but it takes an experiment at the Body Farm to come to the chilling conclusion.

This would have been a much better read with the excising of about one hundred extraneous pages of padding, but as it is, it's merely an okay forensic thriller.

Rated: 3.5 stars

2.0étoiles sur 5 Muddled..., Jui 4 2006
Patricia Cornwell's books are always something of a hit or miss affair but this must rate in the latter category.
The story-line is overly long and padded. Due to the story being strewn with needless details it drags a lot and becomes boring. The plot becomes muddled as there are a lot of loose ends
that aren't tied up, supposedly relevant 'clues' that are then disbanded with and worst of all 'facts' change mid tale!
Did the editor/proof-reader not spot this?!

1.0étoiles sur 5 Horrible..., Jui 29 2004
This review is from: Body Farm (Paperback)
After hearing the hype about Cornwell and then reading Death's Acre, I was excited to try out my first Cornwell book. I found the story line long, drawn out and boring and SO boring in fact, I could not even finish the book. If this story is any indication of Ms. Cornwell's other works, I am not interested in the least.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Scarpetta's kinda dull
This was my first Cornwell book, and overall I enjoyed it, but two complaints. First, Dr. Scarpetta, our heroine, is kinda dull. She's prudish, unfriendly, and lonely. Read more
