THE THRILLING KAY SCARPETTA MYSTERY FROM THE #1 GLOBAL BESTSELLER. SCARPETTA IS COMING TO THE SCREEN SOON, STARRING NICOLE KIDMAN AND JAMIE LEE CURTIS

Murder and mayhem. Scarpetta is back, and she's racing against the clock . . .

Chief medical examiner Kay Scarpetta is the reluctant star witness in a sensational murder trial when she receives shocking news. The judge's sister has been found dead. At first glance, it appears to be a home invasion, but then why was nothing stolen, and why is the garden strewn with dead plants and insects?

Although there is no apparent cause of death, Scarpetta recognizes tell-tale signs of the unthinkable, and she knows the worst is yet to come. The forensic pathologist finds herself pitted against a powerful force that returns her to the past, and her time to catch the killer is running out...

Critic reviews

"One of the best crime writers writing today." (Guardian)

"Cornwell knows how to craft a mean page-turner and Livid Is no exception." (Telegraph)

"I'm still seeing stars... Kay Scarpetta is the same grumpy, wonderful, riveting personality she's always been and she's only getting better with time." (James Patterson)

not the best scarpetta. the ending seemed very rushed. I know she can write better than that, so it's slightly disappointing.

Some poetic license used with the technicalities but a great read nonetheless. Looking forward to the next one already.

Very enjoyable

I hadn’t listened to or read a Scarpetta novel for the longest time but I’ve now been listening to the available books on Audible. I like the Scarpetta series; they’re a bit bloody but not too much and I find them informative and feel that I’ve learned quite a lot through the years.
I really enjoyed this specific book.
Finally I’d like to applaud January LaVoy on her narration, she’s incredible.

Overall a very enjoyable experience.
