具体描述

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.

作者简介

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。”

读后感

这本书最初是偶然间从书库中发现的，想都没想就留存了下来。 故事的情节脉落等等确实没有让我失望。 故事的发展与细节深入可谓惊心动魄，荡气回肠，尤其在午夜时分，万籁俱静的时刻，主人公的一举一动，一言一行以及随之而来的各方面一切反应都催促着我屏息疾读。虽不曾让咱...

这部侦探题材的小说，我并没能看完，而且直到现在都没有再去看的愿望。 只能说小说情节虽然还算紧凑，悬念也有，但整个故事就是差了那么点特别的吸引力。或者，说得再直白点，主要人物的形象塑造得不够充分，使得本就不是特别精彩的故事更打了点折扣。  

最早知道法医这个职业，是看TVB的鉴证实录，相信好多同龄人都是一样。后来，在电视里几次看到王雪梅作节目，觉得这个最高检的首席女法医真了不起，她总挂在嘴边的就是，法医是科学家，她从不觉得自己的工作肮脏，她每天都化精致的妆，让自己很漂亮很神奇地去工作，她相信尸体会...  

这本书的优点： 1、情节较紧凑，至少我是从一开始读就放不下了，一口气看到结尾，读到夜深人静。不过既然是侦探小说，就应该有这种吸引力。 2、比较能感染人。就像红酒，这本书有一种后劲。读完之后会在脑中残留一种惊悚的感觉，对生命产生一种担忧，害怕厄运突然而至。当时我...
