Postmortem

This is first book of Kay Scarpetta series
This time Dr. Scarpetta is trying to solve a string of murders that are so gruesome and violent that it sends shivers up her spine.
Four women are found dead, tortured and strangled. What do they have in common? One is married the others are single. Three are white, one is black. Different backgrounds, neighborhoods, family ties, no real pattern. Except that the murders are becoming more violent. Then another one happens and this one is even more puzzling. The victim is a little too close for comfort.
Is this the work of a serial killer or something more sinister? Dr. Kay Scarpetta is in deep and is fighting against powers that are trying to prevent her from discovering the truth. Who can she trust? Is it someone in the department? Is it someone close to her? Someone she knows too well? Is she next?
Kay needs to find the key to open this case wide open before she becomes a victim.
Very intense and full of surprises. Chills went down my spine when the mystery was solved; well worth the read!!!
