Book review: Postmortem  
book by Patricia Cornwell, review by Jill Silvius
   There are 24 novels by Patricia Cornwell featuring Dr. Kay Scarpetta, medical examiner. Postmortem is the first published and a compelling mystery for a number of reasons.
   Scarpetta is a complex character—tough, wounded, likeable, fallible. Skeptical of her sister’s dumping her genius ten-year-old daughter Lucy, “an impossible little holy terror of enigmatic Latin descent” on her,
   Scarpetta struggles to negotiate being both aunt and temporary mother, especially when Lucy fears her aunt will be harmed by a “bad guy” at work. She also tangles with obnoxious boss Amburgey who accuses her (perhaps accurately, she fears) of leaking sensitive information about a series of horrific murders to the press.     Solving those strangling cases, and preventing additional ones, while deflecting her boss’ accusations, is Scarpetta’s and her team’s main goal. Meanwhile, quasi-boyfriend Bill Boltz and slovenly detective Marino bring her both satisfaction and more problems.
   Scarpetta’s descriptions of the women’s strangled, mangled bodies are not for readers with weak stomachs, though they are also somehow restrained. Worse are her unavoidable imaginative recreations of the moments before their deaths. Cornwell allows the reader inside an ME’s and police officers’ lives, as Postmortem draws on the author’s own experience as police reporter, employee of an ME office, and volunteer police officer. The novel blends investigative action with dialogue and reflections—both the legwork and mental gymnastics required of a criminal investigator.
   Reading Postmortem in 2018 is most interesting in that it shows just how far, even in less than three
decades, science and technological advances have made for forensics. The limitations in scope (and amount of time required!) for blood typing, DNA examination, and especially computer searching and evidence collecting as part of the justice system in the early 1990s are quite eye-opening. I couldn’t help but wonder how much more quickly the crimes could have been solved—or if they could have been prevented outright—if set in the present.
   That makes me wonder, too, how that translates to reality: how many crimes are solved today that simply could not have been solved in the past, no matter how hardworking, insightful, or speculative the MEs,
police, and detectives? Is it therefore easier to a detective today—or significantly more challenging?
   The ending is a bit disappointing, as the killer turns out to be a minor character (leaving the reader to wonder if he/she could possibly have solved the murders before the police—after all, don’t most mystery readers try to?), but there are more crimes than murders here, and a computer hacker is brought to justice, satisfyingly so.
   My trade paperback copy of Postmortem is, at the time of this writing, available in the Book Nook, and the library owns eighteen Cornwell books, most of them featuring Scarpetta. Patrons intrigued by Scarpetta in Postmortem can look forward to many more dark adventures and the changing role of an ME.

THIS DAY IN HISTORY - December 5

Aircraft squadron lost in the Bermuda Triangle  1945

    At 2:10 p.m., five U.S. Navy Avenger torpedo-bombers comprising Flight 19 take off from the Ft. Lauderdale Naval Air Station in Florida on a routine three-hour training mission. Flight 19 was scheduled to take them due east for 120 miles, north for 73 miles, and then back over a final 120-mile leg that would return them to the naval base. They never returned.
    Two hours after the flight began, the leader of the squadron, who had been flying in the area for more than six months, reported that his compass and back-up compass had failed and that his position was unknown. The other planes experienced similar instrument malfunctions. Radio facilities on land were contacted to find the location of the lost squadron, but none were successful. After two more hours of confused messages from the fliers, a distorted radio transmission from the squadron leader was heard at 6:20 p.m., apparently calling for his men to prepare to ditch their aircraft simultaneously because of lack of fuel.
    By this time, several land radar stations finally determined that Flight 19 was somewhere north of the Bahamas and east of the Florida coast, and at 7:27 p.m. a search and rescue Mariner aircraft took off with a 13-man crew. Three minutes later, the Mariner aircraft radioed to its home base that its mission was underway. The Mariner was never heard from again. Later, there was a report from a tanker cruising off the coast of Florida of a visible explosion seen at 7:50 p.m.
