About this listen

A reclusive author, Beryl Madison finds no safe haven from months of menacing phone calls - or the tormented feeling that her every move is being watched. When the writer is found slain in her own home, Kay Scarpetta pieces together the intricate forensic evidence - while unwittingly edging closer to a killer waiting in the shadows.

Critic reviews

"Takes the reader into the fascinating world of the forensic crime lab ... a complex, multi-layered novel with enough twists and turns for two books." ( The Washington Post Book World)
"Cornwell has the milieu and the facts down cold ... a complex story that wends a devious path through dark spaces where corpses are discovered at practically every turn." ( The Los Angeles Daily News)

Great reader, fantastic story love the characters Scarpetta is definitely my new addiction!

What was one of the most memorable moments of Body of Evidence?

When Scapetta arrives in key West and learns all about Beral

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The contact from the killer to Kayak chilled me to the bone!

Any additional comments?

Great Series.

I found the narrators voice a little odd at first but I gradually loved it.

Great story completely let down by narrator

This is a great story.

Sadly, the narrator is poorly cast and, quite frankly, absolutely appalling. Her Scarpetta voice is bad. Her Marino is excrutiating. Who casts these people? I could have made a better job of it.

Sadly, the narration is that poor that I've given up for now. I will try and revisit it but I just couldn't continue.

A great follow up

Simply loved this, it was a excellent follow up to the first and Kings version of the narration is by far better than earlier versions

Couldn't stop listening.

As before, I thoroughly enjoyed the story and very much appreciated the skills of the actor reading it.
