Excerpt: Alyssa Jean Healy (born 24 March 1990 on the Gold Coast, Queensland) is a cricketer who plays for New South Wales and the Australian women's team. She made her international debut in February 2010. A right-handed batsman and wicket-keeper, she is the daughter of Greg Healy, who was part of the Queensland squad, while her uncle Ian Healy was Australia's Test wicket-keeper and held the world record for the most Test dismissals. Healy first came to prominence in late 2006 when she became the first girl to play among boys in the private schools' competition in New South Wales. She moved up the state age group ranks and made her debut for the senior New South Wales team in the 200708 season. She played most of her first two seasons as a specialist batsman due to the presence of Leonie Colemana wicket-keeper for Australiain the state side. Coleman left New South Wales at the start of the 200910 season and Healy took up the glovework on a full-time basis for her state. During the same season, she recorded her highest score of 89 not out as faster than a run a ball, and made the most dismissals of any wicket-keeper in the Women's National Cricket League. Following the injury to Australian captain and wicket-keeper Jodie Fields, Healy was given her international debut in the 2010 Rose Bowl series against New Zealand. She played in the first five One Day Internationals (ODIs) and five Twenty20 (T20) internationals, but was dropped for the last three ODIs during the New Zealand leg of the ...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=18501459 ...

Scarpetta on the case
I really thought Scarpetta was going to find out her niece was responsible for hacking into the office computer system, so it was a surprise to find out who really did it.My first time listening to one of her books instead of reading it.I think I like reading them better.

Mystery book
The books were a gift so I actually never saw them but the person I sent them to seems to like the books.

Great book - great author
My husband is reading through all of her books... he liked the multiple novels in one place.

Changing technolgy
A long-standing fan of Patricia Cornwell, I have a complete collection of Kay Scarpatta and other works, but many are on audiotape.When I travel by car or plane, my audiobooks make the miles tolerable.I am beginning to replace the tapes with CDs.If I were not technolgically challenged, I should be downloading the books.

Cornwell
I love Patricia Cornwell. I have all her books in hardback. I did not enjoy this cd at all due to the female orator. She showed no kind of emotion while reading. It was very flat and very boring. I certainly would never pick her to read a book of anyones. I actually threw it away and money doesn't grow on trees here. ... Read more

Product Description
Another thrilling novel from the bestselling author of Postmortem and Black Notice

After months of menacing phone calls and feeling that her every move is being watched, successful writer Beryl Madison flees Key West when a terrifying message is scratched on her car. But the very night she returns to Richmond, she deactivates her burglar alarm and opens her door to someone who nearly decapitates her. Why did she let him in, wonders Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Kay Scarpetta? And, why is Beryl's latest manuscript missing? Persuing the answers involves Scarpetta in the murder of another writer - Beryl's jealous mentor. While she copes with a variety of personal and professional problems, Scarpetta's high-tech forensic skills enable her to collect a body of evidence - clues that would mean little without her intelligence, compassion, and imagination - that leads her directly into a nightmare all her own.

Lots of Tension
I didn't think I'd ever be saying this about a police procedural with a female protagonist, but I actually enjoy the romance between Kay Scarpetta and Mark James. Cornwell is the absolute best at making her characters real.

When a reclusive writer is brutally stabbed to death after being denied police protection, Dr. Scarpetta gets on the case. However is she on the trail of the killer or is the killer of the killer or is the killer on her trail?

There is tension galore in this book, however, I was a little disappointed in the ending, because I didn't think we were given enough clues to figure out who the killer was. I sort of felt, you know, cheated, as I'd spent so much time thinking about the clues that didn't point to the bad guy at all, so overall I guess I have to give this book four stars.

Another great Scarpetta story!
About a year ago I decided to find out what all the fuss was about and picked up and read Postmorum. I truly enjoyed it.So the logical next step would be to pick up the second Scarpetta novel.I must say I was not disappointed!This book is just as good as the first novel.Not only that but I actually found the story more compelling as it has more plot twists. This will keep your interest all the way to the end.

My favorite part of this novel were the characters.As in the first book Scarpetta and Marino were written extremely well but the new characters such as Mark, Beryl and the rest of the characters that complete this story and make it a very compelling read.

I just didn't want to put this book down.If you are a fan of the Scarpetta series and you some how missed this novel you need to remedy that as soon as possible.If you are new to the Scarpetta novels and are looking for a great suspenseful book then I highly recommend this one.

Grade:A

Thriller
This book kept me engaged throughout. I look forward to read more of her books.

Stalking a stalker
Beryl Madison is a writer of historical fiction set during the American Revolution and civil war. Witty, young and attractive, she unfortunately attracts the interest of a psychopathic killer. He phones her at intervals, watches her, follows her and finally kills her in her home. Her body arrives for autopsy with twenty-seven stab wounds.

Dr. Kay Scarpetta gets involved in the case more deeply than you'd expect of the medical examiner. She always does. Marino, the detective in charge of the case, looks upon himself as her guardian angel. He's more grizzly bear than angel, but even Marino can't keep her out of trouble.

Luckily the doc is pretty deadly herself. Any intruder or killer who goes after her is likely to be whacked with whatever's at hand and put out of commission.

As in the first Scarpetta novel, Post Mortem, Cornwell offers plenty of forensic detail to educate and fascinate the reader. In this book the emphasis is on trace fibers from the murderer. There's also a romantic if rocky encounter with an old boyfriend to distract the doc from her work and a subplot involving the FBI to muddy the waters of detection.

I liked Post Mortem a little better than this book, but nonetheless it did keep me nailed to my armchair - sure sign of a competent thriller. I'll certainly go on to the next book in the series.

Good but not excellent
A good one, but not as good as her other books! I still enjoyed it! ... Read more

It got my attention
Being a fairly versed mystery reader, somehow I managed to gloss over Ms. Cornwell until about a month ago.I decided to start the Scarpetta series where it began, with Postmortem.The book was a quick read with quite a few twists and turns.I like the beginning of her character development and look forward to reading more about these characters as I continue through the series.Sometimes the verbage was a bit over-thought and a bit too in your face graphic but overall, I liked the book.It moved without getting bogged down.I do look forward to further adventures with the Scarpetta crew and to see how Ms. Cornwell's writing develops.

I Couldn't Put it Down
Richmond is terrorized by Mr. Nobody, a serial killer. He leaves hardly any evidence behind, but he hasn't reckoned on the abilities of Chief Medical Examiner, Dr. Kay Scarpetta. However, petty politics and a reporter are getting in her way and that's awfully hard for someone as self-centered as Dr. Kay who backs down when confronted by her superiors and takes her frustration out on those under her. She gets angry, she empathizes with the victims, sometimes I like her, sometimes she makes me want to gag. I suppose that's because she's human, maybe too human for a novel.

However, I couldn't put the book down when I first read it, and years later when I read it again, I was up all night again. That is most certainly the mark of a five star novel.

Absolutely an original.
I read this book soon after it came out. This was YEARS before the whole CSI genre. I thought "who is this Patricia Cornwell?".This stuff about forensics is so interesting and new. She coupled that with characters that you could like or find interesting and a great story. Fast paced. Interesting characters and really scared the boots off me while reading it alone in my house. I ended up reading the first half dozen books along with the her other book "Hornet's Nest" which was a big disappointment. After a while she really had played out the characters and cliche took over. But the first novels are still fresh and original. Loved them!

Consistent excellence.
As always, Kay's on the case. This was an earlier story I hadn't read before fuller relationships were formed. Interesting aspect and a good look at how they started.Love these books.Can't wait for the movie! ... Read more
