About this listen

Under cover of night in Richmond, Virginia, a human monster strikes, leaving a gruesome trail of stranglings that has paralysed the city. Medical examiner Kay Scarpetta suspects the worst: a deliberate campaign by a brilliant serial killer whose signature offers precious few clues. With an unerring eye, she calls on the latest advances in forensic research to unmask the madman. But this investigation will test Kay like no other, because it’s being sabotaged from within - and someone wants her dead.

Critic reviews

"Devilishly clever." ( Sunday Times)

Most relevant

I am amazed this series went on to sell millions. It is full of cardboard characters and has a tissue thin plot line.

OK but not much of a plot.

Is there anything you would change about this book?

I can't pin point what I didn't like about the story; I think it's more that if feels like just another thriller in the middle if other several million thrillers, nothing exciting about it.

Would you recommend Postmortem to your friends? Why or why not?

Not really; as I mentioned, there is nothing special about it.

Any additional comments?

The ending was a bit of a let down and unfortunately it has put me off any other Scarpetta series books.

A bit over rated
