Her genuine affection for, and interest in, her main character radiates through the novel, and her research for <i>The Bone Bed</i> is as thorough as ever. Where Cornwell excels is in her ability to transcend the clichés and deliver a good, old fashioned thriller that has enough CSI-style touches to draw in the forensics- obsessed fan while never taking her eye of her plotting and characters
