A propos de l'auteur

Patricia Cornwell was born in Miami, Florida on June 9, 1956. When she was nine years old, her mother tried to give her and her two brothers to evangelist Billy Graham and his wife to care for. For a while the children lived with missionaries since their mother was unable to care for them. After afficher plus graduating from Davidson College in 1979, she worked for The Charlotte Observer eventually covering the police beat and winning an investigative reporting award from the North Carolina Press Association for a series of articles on prostitution and crime in downtown Charlotte. Her award-winning biography of Ruth Bell Graham, the wife of Billy Graham, A Time for Remembering, was published in 1983. From 1984 to 1990, she worked as a technical writer and a computer analyst at the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Richmond, Virginia. While working for the medical examiner, she began to write novels. Although the award-winning novel Postmortem was initially rejected by seven different publishers, once it was published in 1990 it became the only novel ever to win the Edgar, Creasey, Anthony, and Macavity awards as well as the French Prix du Roman d'Adventure, in one year. She is the author of the Kay Scarpetta series, the Andy Brazil series, and the Winston Garano series. She has also written two cookbooks entitled Scarpetta's Winter Table and Food to Die For; a children's book entitled Life's Little Fable; and non-fiction works like Portrait of a Killer: Jack the Ripper - Case Closed.

Monnaie de sang par Patricia Cornwell

Trop de détails, de bavardages, Mme Cornwell fait comme d'habitude étalage de sa "science", ce qui n'ajoute rien à l'intérêt de l'histoire, qui devient tellement compliquée que l'on se perd bien avant la fin...

Vent de glace par Patricia Cornwell

Sur les 400 pages de ce roman pléthorique, j'en enlèverai une centaine, où de façon redondante, on a droit à digressions sur la vie privée de Scarpetta, ou des détails tellement techniques sur la manière de relever des traces, des empreintes, d'étudier un mort que nous sommes plongés dans la plus grande confusion. Sauf que j'ai passé plusieurs dizaines de feuilles, en les lisant en diagonale, ou même en les ignorant complètement, et en reprenant le fil du roman comme si de rien n'était, ce qui prouve bien que tous ces commentaires ne sont pas utiles. P. Cornwell semble se complaire dans les descriptions plutôt morbides, nous assène des précisions sur la manière de mener une autopsie, ce qui n'amène rien à l'intérêt de l'histoire.… (plus d'informations)

Mordoc par Patricia Cornwell

Trop d'horreurs tue le suspens. On n'en peut plus des descriptions des corps et des cadavres affreusement mutilés ou atteints de maladie épouvantable.
