This is the first Patricia Cornwell novel I read and still my favorite. A great book for those who like forensic mysteries.
I'm not a big Kathy Reichs fan, but some of the other suggestions you've made look great..I'll check some of them out.
I wanted to draw attention to Clea Koff's first novel, Freezing. It's the start of a new series and Koff draws on her experience working on mass graves worldwide for the UN and working with families of missing person in the United States. Her first book, The Bone Woman: A Forensic Anthropologist's Search for Truth in the Mass Graves of Rwanda, Bosnia, Croatia, and Kosovo, was a really graceful look at her work internationally.
