Review:
Praise for the Body Farm novels: "The Bone Yard is especially good and should fnd an audience with CSI fans and devotees of crime fiction in general."--Wilmington Star News

"A superb mystery--well-plotted, flled with memorable characters, based on accurateforensic science and written with more fair and literary sensibility than anything byJohn Grisham. The novel, in fact, is in Cornwell's league, high praise indeed."--Houston Chronicle on Carved in Bone

"Carved in Bone has a unique corpse, solid science, quirky humor and a loveable protagonist. That a novel like this can be described as charming is a tribute to the team that created some very human, down-to-earth characters."--USA Today

"Clever and compelling."--Booklist on The Inquisitor's Key

"The Bone Thief is a compelling read. Long after the last page is turned, readers will continue to ponder their positions on organ donation--the signature of memorable writing."--Chattanooga Free Press

"The forensic thriller meets a formidable slice of history. . . . In addition to being a riveting mystery with an intricately emotional conclusion, Bones of Betrayal bears witness to the past with great respect for the long shadow it casts."--Washington Post

"Entertaining. . . . Fascinating forensics. . . . Readers . . . will take to Dr. Bill, a hero with a big heart who isn't afraid to tackle complicated issues."--Publishers Weekly on Flesh and Bone

"The Bone Yard is especially good and should fnd an audience with CSI fans and devotees of crime fiction in general."--Wilmington Star News

Another strong performance in what has become an outstanding series for CSI fans.... compelling and skillfully written. --Booklist on THE BREAKING POINT"

One of the best books of 2015! --Suspense Magazine on THE BREAKING POINT"
