Medical examiner Kay Scarpetta suspects the worst: a deliberate campaign by a brilliant serial killer whose signature offers precious few clues. With an unerring eye, she calls on the latest forensic advances to unmask the madman; but this investigation will test Kay like no other, because it is being sabotaged by someone who wants her dead. Description in Spanish: Tres mujeres han aparecido salvajemente asesinadas en sus propios dormitorios. El responsable de estos crimenes actua siempre los sabados, de madrugada, y deja muy pocas pistas. De manera que cuando la doctora Kay Scarpetta, jefa del departamento de Medicina Legal de la ciudad, recibe una llamada a las 2.33, supone que algo grave ha sucedido: hay una cuarta victima. Kay Scarpetta recurrira a los ultimos avances en medicina legal y tendra que verselas con aquellos que quieren sabotear su trabajo…, y es que no a todo el mundo le gusta ver a una mujer en el puesto que ella ocupa. Average Rating:
 Rating: - A good beginning to a series...Reading "post Mortem" is like getting to know the Chief ME of the Commonwealth of Va., up close and personal. To know what ticks her off, what are her strengths, and her weaknesses, how she is at a glass ceiling where she must fight with male colleagues, out to prove her inadequate in more than one ways - all of that and much more. This being the first in the Scarpetta series, the book shows a lot of promise, by showing a gritty ME, who will not buckle under any pressure, may it be from ... Read More Rating: - A strong start.I just read this book for the first time. This was a series that I just never got around to reading, so I figured I'd start with the first book. This certainly has an early 90s feel to it, which is not a bad thing. The descriptions of the computer database system in the Medical Examiner's office is pretty fun to read, if you remember the time when DOS was the main operating system. I'm aware that many of these characters will develop throughout the series, and that's fine ... Read More Rating:  - Review of purchase I paid full price for this book which was the most expensive copy listed on Amazon. No where did it mention that it was coming without a dust jacket. Most of the others specifically mentioned that they did not have a dust jacket. I feel very strongly that I was misled into paying more money for something than what I had too considering it was not what I wanted. Rating: - Addicting...gotta keep readingI love most of the Kaye Scarpetta series. This is definately one of the better novels!! Rating: - Not a bad readI enjoyed this book, even though it does show its age a bit with its simplistic descriptions of DNA testing and computer hacking. Another thing, I figured out who the killer was early in the book, something that is very unusual for me. Still, the book has some nice characterizations and the plot moves quickly. Scarpetta is a little whiney, especially for a woman in such an important position, so that didn't track as well. Overall, well worth reading.
