Description
Scarpetta, an all-new Original Series, is out now on Prime Video!
Enter the chilling and captivating world of Dr. Kay Scarpetta before Nicole Kidman and Jamie Lee Curtis bring the mystery to life onscreen.
“The new audience will be compelled by the characters, crimes, and mysteries that are the trifecta of Patricia’s masterful storytelling… and a warning……there WILL be BLOOD.” – Jamie Lee Curtis
Dr. Kay Scarpetta’s investigation takes her to the prehistoric age—and alarmingly close to home—in this “nail-bitingly . . . suspenseful” (The City Paper) thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Patricia Cornwell.
A woman has vanished while digging a dinosaur bone bed in the remote wilderness of Canada. Somehow, the only evidence has made its way to the inbox of Chief Medical Examiner Kay Scarpetta, over two thousand miles away in Boston. She has no idea why.
But as events unfold with alarming speed, Scarpetta begins to suspect that the paleontologist’s disappearance is connected to a series of crimes much closer to home: a gruesome murder, inexplicable tortures, and trace evidence from the last living creatures of the dinosaur age.
When she turns to those around her, Scarpetta finds that the danger and suspicion have penetrated even her closest circles. Her niece Lucy speaks in riddles. Her lead investigator, Pete Marino, and FBI forensic psychologist and husband, Benton Wesley, have secrets of their own. Feeling alone and betrayed, Scarpetta is tempted by someone from her past as she tracks a killer both cunning and cruel.
Reviews
The Beast Within
5By LoualdaI have enjoyed reading Patricia Cornwell’s Scarpetta series for several years now. For some reason I liked this one a little better than the rest. Maybe because the “gang’s all here”, maybe because of the psychological aspects, the why we tick the way we tick. Human beings can and do have a breaking point. There is obviously a lot of homework done on this one, per usual, and with some mild twists and turns. The Douglas Burke character almost went to far, but then when she died I thought, “I would’ve liked to see her sent to Louisville, and then maybe at some point a psychological profile be completed”. But that’s just me.Clever but Tough
3By Gone again.Sometimes the flow of the verbal dialogue between characters and the main character’s thoughts and musings were difficult for me to separate.The Bone Bed

4By SpikkejoyceThanks do much! Very interesting just like old times!The Bone Bed
3By nanabandanaRather hard to read. Words and sentences don't flow like her other books. Very difficult to follow or anticipate. Character building is shallow. Topic is predictable. I knew she would become a victim again.The bone bed
5By Krisssy3Nice! Captivating readingLove her books!
5By LoanchikI have read every book starting back in 1993!!! Patricia Cornwell is the ONLY author I read and is hands down brilliant!!! I hope to meet her one day :)The Bone Bed
1By Mlh110I am trying to download this novel, but it will not download.The Bones Bed
5By Linda3409Another excellent book by Patricia Cornwell. This really had me going and I had no idea who the killer was. Great!The Bone Bed
4By PpsbatThis book was well worth the read. As always Patricia Cornwell knows how to tell a tale. Dr. Kay Scarpetta continues to evolve as a character and I always look forward to her adventures. I find it hard to put these stories down. Solving crimes and tracking serial killers is Dr. Scarpetta's speciality. If you enjoy a spell binding look at forensics, all of the Scarpetta books are good.The Bone Bed
5By The BedsAs usual, Dr. Kay put the reader in her shoes as she's looking at evidence, extrapolating theories, and trying to put together the puzzle of murder. I thought I knew the culprit early on, but once again I was surprised. That's one of the reasons I like the Scarpetta series. This jaded mystery reader can experience the thrill of being caught off guard.The Bone Bed
1By Tellervo1952The worst book Cornwell has ever written. Is she has no stories left she should stop writing!Awful
1By EllephProbably the most poorly written book I've ever read.So good!!!
5By srs5628This was a real page turner!! She kept you guessing the whole time. One minute you think you know something and then you turn out to be completely wrong!!! It's a must read!!The Bone Bed
4By judalonScarlett's is beck in form. After Red Mist I was afraid I'd lost one of my favorite reads, but this one says I have more to look forward to.Bone Bed
1By RmhmomDisappointed, foul language unnecessary, Scarpetta has gone from a strong character to someone who sees every woman as a threat to her career and her marriage. I think all the characters are becoming head cases. I have read every one of the Kay Scarpetta books and this just may be my last. The last few just have not been up to the same standard that the earlier books were.Bone Bed
5By SOXX757Absolutely awesome..loved it..
