The book of the dead was written by Patricia Cornwell in the year 2007. The book contains 432 pages and was published exactly after the success of Predator. For this book Patricia won the British Book Awards’. Book of the Dead is the part and parcel of the Kay Scarpetta series and has been written in the style which is very much third-person omniscient in nature. The book revolves around suspense. Some people have criticized the book as well due to its story line however I personally think that the book was awesome.
Edgar Award was given to Patricia for this book. The book was a super hit during the 1990’s. The story of the book revolves around a serial killer who has killed many in Richmond. Scarpetta has to solve this case along with her team. The killer has left some clues as well along with the strangulated body. Will Scarpetta be able to solve this mystery?

Patricia Cornwell is not an ordinary name when it comes to novel writing. The author has written countless books . Especially her Scarpetta series has been awesome. The books which I have mentioned are still available in the market and you can easily purchase these books at a reasonable price from your book store. There are many online platforms as well from where you can purchase these books. However in case of online stores, see to it that you purchase from credible stores only. Buying from less known online stores can be risky for you.
