Produktbeschreibung: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 . . .

It was a pleasure to read one of Scarpetta's most thrilling stories ever. Patricia Cornwell made me feel like I've been with Kay, Benton and Pete to examine the case of Emily Steiner's tragical death. It was fascinating till the end but I missed a kind of showdown to be honest. The story is well concipated but the end is a bit unspectacular.

A little gory, but good. Scarpetta is a wonderful and intelligent heroine. Any of Cromwell's books are worth a read if you like criminal thrillers.

This is one of Cornwell's best written books. Scarpetta is chasing a serial killer who has alluded her before. The details are all there in true Cornwell style, the action is fast paced and it is very hard to put the book down.

Bisher waren alle Figuren P. Cornwells glaubhaft. In diesem Buch habe ich einige Schwierigkeiten. Diese beginnen, wenn sich einige Verdachtsmomente (gegen wen, wird nicht verraten)so verdichten, dass sogar ein forensisch und verhaltenspsychologisch unbedarfter Leser folgen kann, aber Benton Wesley, der Profiler des FBI diesen Verdacht absolut nicht annimmt. Ansonsten ist dieses Buch wieder ein gelungenes Werk, das man nicht so leicht aus der Hand legen kann.
