Patricia Cornwell‘s Kay Scarpetta novels finally got the screen treatment in Scarpetta, the eight-episode crime drama that premiered on Prime Video on March 11.
The star-studded series followed the renowned medical examiner on a new serial killing case that has some unsettling connections to her career-making case from the ’90s, and the last episode ended with a major cliffhanger.
