帕特丽夏·康薇尔(Patricia Cornwell):
美国著名作家,被誉为“DNA时代的阿加莎·克里斯蒂”。
早期做过刑事新闻记者、州法医办公室检验记录员与电脑分析员、里士满市义务警察,曾接受FBI特训……曲折而独特的经历,使她成功塑造出一个与福尔摩斯齐名的首席女法医——凯•斯卡佩塔。
正是到了康薇尔的笔下,“法医”这个幕后角色才第一次隆重走到台前,不但使众多断头无绪的案件初露真相的晨曦,甚至成为一批悬案解锁的钥匙。众多媒体为此隆重报道:“斯卡佩塔和作家共同开辟了一个时代,一个让尸体开口说话的时代。”
From Publishers Weekly Cornwell combines bone-rattling suspense with an insider's view of forensic science as her sleuth, Richmond, Va., medical examiner Kay Scarpetta, investigates a series of grim murders of young couples. A 13-week PW bestseller, a Mystery Guild selection and a Literary Guild featured alternate in cloth. Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc. From School Library Journal YA-- The decomposed bodies of Fred Cheyney and Deborah Harvey don't show up for months, well into Dr. Kay Scarpetta's account of her investigation into their disappearance. The two lovers are the fifth pair in a string of mysterious ``couple murders,'' all bearing the same characteristics: two young people completely vanish, leaving behind an abandoned car and no clues about their fate. Months later the skeletal remains are found by hunters in remote wooded locales, and no evidence about the causes of death can be discovered. At the same time, the FBI appears to be foiling attempts to discover the identity of the murderer by withholding crime-scene information, and Kay's old friend Abby, a newspaper reporter, complicates matters by conducting her own search for the truth. This rich brew makes for a compelling story to which Cornwell has added such stand-bys from her two previous Scarpetta novels as Pete Marino, a middle-aged police detective, and Benton Wesley, an FBI investigator who knows how to keep a secret. Mystery-loving YAs and fans of Cornwell's previous novels will enjoy her latest.- Carolyn E.

从图书馆借的书,本来期待的是抽丝剥茧的法医鉴定,但是感觉书中并没有太多的鉴定方面的描写,更多的是法医的推理和冒险;虽然斯卡佩塔对于真相的执着的确让人佩服,但是书中的描写使她更像一个警察、一个侦探而非一个法医。 一口气看完只是为了看看最终的结局,但是看了又觉得...
评分五月风筝2009-06-28 18:31:25 看了一大堆日本的推理小说后,转成这本美国小说,开始时有些难以适应。从大段大段复杂的心里推理转变成血液、精液、体液、毛发 、指纹、DNA……东西方的侦探小说所不同的地方体现得淋漓尽致。 一直很喜欢看美剧的CSI,所以对这样的书,很...
评分这是我看的第二本女法医了,可是新经典的编号竟然是康薇儿系列的第三部,第二部在哪里?我应该是有轻微的强迫症,即使不喜欢,也要将整套收集,就像我对待岛田庄司的态度。 我实在是看不出这个法医到底对残骸都做了什么了,更多的我看到的是一个大侦探一样的女人在进...
评分喜欢这本书的人想必会有着相似的阅读倾向,喜欢浓郁强烈的欧美类型因素、暗自潜伏骤然噬人的惊悚,以及无所不在的女性写作印迹。 与第一本相比,这一本类似美剧的典型戏剧冲突设置更加明显,FBI、政府高层和媒体涉入纠葛更深,利益集团和权力斗争更错综复杂。这是康薇尔始终...
