Postmortem by Patricia Cornwell | Book Review | Kay Scarpetta #1

In this video, I review Postmortem by Patricia Cornwell, the groundbreaking debut novel that introduced readers to Dr Kay Scarpetta, one of crime fiction’s most iconic forensic pathologists. First published in 1990, Postmortem helped redefine the crime thriller genre by placing forensic science and pathology at the heart of the investigation.

Set in Richmond, Virginia, the novel follows Scarpetta as she investigates a series of brutal murders targeting women, with clues pointing to a killer who may be using early computer technology to stalk victims. Cornwell’s meticulous attention to forensic detail, autopsy procedures, and criminal profiling gives the story a chilling realism that still stands out today.

In this review, I discuss:

Why Postmortem was so influential in modern crime fiction

Patricia Cornwell’s writing style and pacing

The introduction of Kay Scarpetta as a strong, complex protagonist

Themes of misogyny, institutional resistance, and justice

Whether the novel still holds up for modern readers

Winner of both the Edgar Award and the Creasey Award, Postmortem launched a long-running series and paved the way for countless forensic thrillers that followed.

If you enjoy crime novels, forensic thrillers, detective fiction, or are curious about where the modern crime genre truly began, this review is for you.
