Postmortem introduces Dr Kay Scarpetta, the Chief Medical Examiner in Richmond, Virginia. A series of brutal murders has the city on edge, and Scarpetta is tasked with uncovering the forensic clues that could reveal the killer. As she pieces together microscopic evidence, computer data, and behavioural patterns, she finds herself navigating office politics, media pressure, and a growing sense that the murderer might be closer than anyone realises. The novel blends forensic detail with psychological tension, setting the stage for the long-running Scarpetta series.I enjoyed the book, although it was a bit scary for a night time read. The story was gripping, even if I occasionally had to retrace my steps to keep track of everything.
3.8 / 5.
