Appropriately for a parent company (Amazon) that specializes in book sales, on Kindle as well as old-fashioned paper, Prime Video is making a name for itself by adapting the stories of literary mystery heroes so familiar to a large fan base of readers that they can go by one name. Bosch. Cross.

And now Scarpetta, as in Kay Scarpetta, the driven medical examiner whose clinical tales of dissection and detection have amassed nearly 30 volumes to date since Postmortem in 1990. It seems incredible that it has taken this long to adapt Patricia Cornwell‘s bestsellers for small or big screen, but their time has come, with Nicole Kidman training her icy gaze on bodies living and dead in the title role.
