Critics Review

Classic Cornwell territory with…a sharp political element that will ensure the book isn’t on George Bush’s bedside table - Daily Express

Serving up an Ace….Cornwell is firmly back on the money here. - Daily Mirror

Patricia Cornwell is the queen of gritty, grisly, crime fiction writing and her latest offering doesn’t disappoint. Book of the Dead will keep you gripped throughout - Heat

“The reason we read novels about the forensic investigation of crime is not artistic decorum but a fascination with how things work. This is what Cornwell has always provided, and it is an area in which she does not disappoint.” Times Literary Supplement - ‘Hannibal Lecter, eat your liver out. Tersely written, elaborately plotted and crammed with research, Cornwell’s writing has always been hard-boiled
