After a way sad childhood, Cornwall graduated from Davidson College with a degree in English. She wrote a biography of a family friend entitled, “A Time for Remembering”, then renamed “Ruth, A Portrait: The Story of Ruth Bell Graham” in 1983. After working in a Virginia medical examiners for six years, she wrote the first installment of her “Scarpetta” series entitled “Postmortem”. Her six year job was valuable in including a lot of forensic science details in her “Scarpetta” series.

In the same vein Cornwell made a brief appearance on the Criminal Minds episode “True Genius”, as herself.

This might be the worst book I've ever read. What was Cornwell thinking? Hated the characters & the plot. If you enjoy her work, do yourself a favor and skip this one.

Don't know what she was trying to do but she sure failed. This book is almost unreadable. I've read most of her other books and couldn't even get through this.
