帕特麗夏·康薇爾(Patricia Cornwell):
美國著名作傢,被譽為“DNA時代的阿加莎·剋裏斯蒂”。
早期做過刑事新聞記者、州法醫辦公室檢驗記錄員與電腦分析員、裏士滿市義務警察,曾接受FBI特訓……麯摺而獨特的經曆,使她成功塑造齣一個與福爾摩斯齊名的首席女法醫——凱•斯卡佩塔。
正是到瞭康薇爾的筆下,“法醫”這個幕後角色纔第一次隆重走到颱前,不但使眾多斷頭無緒的案件初露真相的晨曦,甚至成為一批懸案解鎖的鑰匙。眾多媒體為此隆重報道:“斯卡佩塔和作傢共同開闢瞭一個時代,一個讓屍體開口說話的時代。”
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.

對美劇《CSI》的熱衷,以及對《Bones》的喜愛,讓我決定買下這本口碑貌似還不錯的偵探小說。 語言習慣上的差異,讓我即使閱讀翻譯版本,也會感受到濃濃美國口音。書中有些地方,總是讓我覺得翻譯的太過纍贅,那前前後後加的定語、修飾詞大大延誤瞭閱讀時間。通常我能夠做到忽...
評分這本書的優點: 1、情節較緊湊,至少我是從一開始讀就放不下瞭,一口氣看到結尾,讀到夜深人靜。不過既然是偵探小說,就應該有這種吸引力。 2、比較能感染人。就像紅酒,這本書有一種後勁。讀完之後會在腦中殘留一種驚悚的感覺,對生命産生一種擔憂,害怕厄運突然而至。當時我...
評分進一步得知,原來人血液的DNA是會改變的,如果骨髓移植的話。而腦髓、脾髒和精液的DNA則不會變。 以前就經常在圖書館和書店裏看到這個係列的書,不過這是第一次看完一本。感覺很好,不虛此行! 行文很好,懸念設置及解答都很好,一環扣一環,媒體、司法部、中央情報局、聯邦調...
評分從圖書館藉的書,本來期待的是抽絲剝繭的法醫鑒定,但是感覺書中並沒有太多的鑒定方麵的描寫,更多的是法醫的推理和冒險;雖然斯卡佩塔對於真相的執著的確讓人佩服,但是書中的描寫使她更像一個警察、一個偵探而非一個法醫。 一口氣看完隻是為瞭看看最終的結局,但是看瞭又覺得...
