THE TRUTH ABOUT: Patricia cornwell - The Untold Story

Kay Scarpetta led the trend for serial killer hunters. I love crime heroines – but she leaves me cold

Dr Kay Scarpetta, chief medical examiner of the Commonwealth of Virginia, made her fictional debut in Patricia Cornwell’s first crime novel, Postmortem, published in 1990. Cornwell had been both a police reporter and a morgue assistant. And her character was inspired by a real medical examiner she worked with.
