Word of Mouth

Patricia Cornwell Lets Her Characters Speak For Themselves

New Hampshire Public Radio

Published December 3, 2013 at 10:44 AM EST

NHPR and The Music Hall present Writers on a New England Stage with Patricia Cornwell. Her best-selling Kay Scarpetta crime fiction series introduced millions of readers to forensic pathology – and inspired popular TV shows from CSI to Dexter. After her 21^st Scarpetta novel, Patricia Cornwell reflects on the process of turning grisly real-world crimes into absorbing fiction.
