Scarpetta is probably my favorite heroine in modern novels and I have been an avid reader of all Patricia's novels that I have been able to get my hands on. I think the character is a real "role model" type.
ReplyDeleteI know 2010 is the 20th anniversary of her bestselling first book "Portmortem" but I did not realize that it had won so many awards i.e. the first novel to win the Edgar, Creasey, Anthony, and Macavity awards as well as the French Prix du Roman d’Aventure in a single year.
I would really love to get my hands on this book.
Thanks.

ReplyDeleteAnd ohh, her book character Kay Scarpetta in Scarpetta series is amazing.
Patricia is a founder of the Virginia Institute of Forensic Science and Medicine!
ReplyDeleteHer first crime novel, Postmortem, was initially rejected by seven major publishing houses and later became the first novel to win the Edgar, Creasey, Anthony, and Macavity awards as well as the French Prix du Roman d’Aventure in a single year.
ReplyDeleteI read this book years ago and liked it very much!
ReplyDeleteShe is one of my favorite authors. I think her Dr. Kay Scarpetta is one of my favorite characters. She is so careful with the research she does, she actually became a helicopter pilot. It shows in her books, they are really good.
