My guest this week is the crime writing legend, Patricia Cornwell. Patricia wrote her first novel about forensic pathologist kay scarpetta in 1990. Called Postmortem, it was such a hit it became the first book ever to win all four major crime awards on both sides of the Atlantic in the same year. (It also scared the bejesus out of me.) But Kay Scarpetta was more than a hit, she was a breakthrough. Because mad as it might sound now, if you were looking for a crime novel where the female characters were actually alive in the late 1980s, you weren't exactly spoilt for choice.Now 39 books and 100 million copies later, Patricia's 27th Kay Scarpetta novel, Unnatural Death, is about to hit bookshops and the one and only Jamie Lee Curtis is bringing her to our screens.Patricia zoomed from her home in Boston, where she lives with her wife Staci to talk about, well, everything. We ran the full gamut from gun crime and serial killers to how writing books enabled her to take back control after a difficult childhood, feeling like a failure and the danger of self-loathing. We also discussed how she narrowly escaped being a minister's wife, marriage second time around and the enormous debt she owes Jamie Lee Curtis.

The complete audiobook is available for purchase at Audible.com: voicesoftoday.net/death Unnatural Death By Dorothy L. Sayers Narrated by Graham Scott In the third adventure of the aristocratic sleuth, an overheard conversation in a restaurant launches Lord Peter Wimsey upon an investigation into the death in 1925 of Miss Agatha Dawson: a wealthy old lady, terminally ill, but inexplicably dead a little earlier than her conscientious young doctor expected. And as Wimsey looks into the circumstances, a body turns up in Epping Forest, and no one else, including Lord Peter himself, is safe...
When we consider that we were spiritually dead in our sin, we can see the magnitude of God's mercy and grace in how He provided life for us. Salvation is entirely a gift from God. Pastor Kevin's message, UNNATURAL DEATH & SUPERNATURAL LIFE, explores this famous passage in which we see how God brought us from death to life in Christ.
The novel by Dorothy L. Sayers dramatised for radio by David Geary. With Hugh Burden as Lord Peter Wimsey and Clifford Norgate as Det-Insp Charles Parker. PARKER: Look, two doctors examined that body - one with close knowledge of the deceased, the other entirely independent. They found nothing. WIMSEY: As would 99 doctors out of 100. The 100th might be looking for something the others weren't. PARKER: But looking for what?

We follow Miss Climpson as she has an encounter with Spiritualism, Miss Murchison as she snoops, and give away the whodunnit and howdunnit. We also talk about narrative echoes to previous Wimsey mysteries, such as Mrs. Wrayburn in relation to the other elderly women in the plots of UNNATURAL DEATH and THE UNPLEASANTNESS AT THE BELLONA CLUB.

Sayers: Her Life and Soul, 1993. (The best one in my opinion. It is writen in an open, modern style and contain many more pictures than than the others.) Video:The best series - A Dorothy L Sayers Mystery. BBC, 1987. This cover 3 out 4 of the Wimsey/Vane books - Strong Poison (in which they meet and Peter saves Harriet from the gallows), Have His Carcase (in which Harriet finds a body, which subsequently disappears, and partners with Peter in investigating and solving the murder), Gaudy Night (in which Harriet goes back Oxford for a reunion and runs into a mystery about a vicious vandal; while the plots thickens, so does their romance).Best Wimsey is Edward Petherbridge and best Vane is Harriet Walter, both of whom are in this series.The other series was made by the BBC in 1970. It starred Ian Carmichel as Wimsey. Carmichel looks nothing like Wimsey and, to my mind, does not act like Wimsey either. This series includes:The Unpleasantness at the Bellona ClubThe Nine TailorsMurder Must AdvertiseFive Red HerringsClouds of Witness There were also a couple films made, both of which Sayers absolutely hated. They are:The Silent Passenger, 1935, British, starring John Loden and Peter Haddon. Busman's Honeymoon (US: The Haunted Honeymoon), starring Robert Montgomery and Constance Cummings, 1940.
