From Publishers Weekly

Cornwell, a former reporter who has worked in a medical examiner's office, sets her first mystery in Richmond, Va. Chief medical officer for the commonwealth of Virginia, Dr. Kay Scarpetta, the narrator, dwells on her efforts to identify "Mr. Nobody," the strangler of young women. The doctor devotes days and nights to gathering computer data and forensic clues to the killer, although she's hampered by male officials anxious to prove themselves superior to a woman. Predictably, Scarpetta's toil pays off, but not before the strangler attacks her; a reformed male chauvinist, conveniently nearby, saves her. Although readers may be naturally disposed to admire Scarpetta and find the novel's scientific aspect interesting, they are likely to be put off by her self-aggrandizement and interminable complaints, annoying flaws in an otherwise promising debut.

From Library Journal

This award-winning novel based on Richmond's real-life "South Side Strangler" case introduced Virginia's chief medical examiner, Kay Scarpetta, and launched Cornwell's career. Narrator Lorelei King generally has a pleasant reading voice and uses good pacing to build suspense. However, this is not a successful merger of book and reader for American ears. Listeners may be confused to hear that Kay wears "cocky" (khaki), for instance, and accenting the second syllable of such words as modem and condom distract the listener from the story. Furthermore, the voices of supporting characters (such as Marino, a "stoopid" New Jersey cop, and Lucy, a fussy Southern child) are stereotypical. Fortunately, an unabridged version of Postmortem is available from several other producers, including Recorded Books (Audio Reviews, LJ 2/15/94). Not recommended.?Juleigh Muirhead Clark, Williamsburg, Va.

2.0étoiles sur 5 Just so-so, Avril 19 2009
This review is from: Postmortem (Mass Market Paperback)
It was a really great plot, very well detailed story, so interesting, and then had an anti-climactic ending. Could have been better.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Forensic Mystery, Sep 26 2004
Par Ez (Melbourne, Australia) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Postmortem Low Price (Audio Cassette)
Dr Kay Scarpetta, Chief Medical Examiner of Virginia, gets involved investigating a string of murders. However, while 911 was dialled, no one came. Read it quite fast, admittedly in front of the cricket, so my concentration wasn't entirely up to standard. I've read other Scarpetta novels, but I don't remember niece Lucy being only ten years old.

Postmortem is a great start to the Kay Scarpetta series. Read this and I'm sure you'll be hooked for the series. Good mystery reading and leaves you wanting more, and there is!
