I’ve been waiting years! for someone to adapt Patricia Cornwell’s novels into films or even TV films. I mean, every single one of Danielle Steel’s books have adapted, but no Patricia Cornwell. Then I see in Variety this morning that two of her books At Risk and The Front have been optioned by Stanley M. Brooks and Jim Head and Tandem Communications to be produced for Lifetime.
At Risk and The Front? Sigh. Isn’t the lead of those books a guy? Cornwell in my mind is best known for her amazing series of Kay Scarpetta forensic crime novels. Kay Scarpetta is one of my favorite characters. She’s smart, complicated and so totally interesting. Knowing Cornwell, I’m sure there are strong female characters in both At Risk and The Front but I can’t help but be a little sad that the first Cornwell books to make it to TV will not have Kay Scarpetta in them.
My vote for casting Kay Scarpetta: Kate Mulgrew

Here Here!! Kate Mulgrew to play Kay Scarpetta. There’s no one else for the job in my opinion.
