Search - Bones to Ashes (Temperance Brennan, Bk 10)

The discovery of a skeleton in Acadia, Canada, reawakens a traumatic episode for forensic anthropologist Temperence Brennan. could the young girl's remains be those of Evangeline Landry. Tempe's friend who disappeared when Tempe was twelve?

Exotic, free-spirited, and slightly older, Evangeline enlivened Tempe's summer beach visits... then vanished amid whispers that she was "dangerous."

Now, faced with bones scarred with inexplicable lesions, Tempe is consumed with solving a decades-old mystery---while her lover, detective Andrew Ryan, urgently needs her attention on a wave of teenage abductions and murders. With both Ryan and her ex-husband making surprising future plans, Tempe may soon find that her world has painfully and irrevocably changed once again.

"Gripping, Full of Twists and Turns. Ottawa Citizen.

Tempe is again into investigating instead of just working with bones. She is aided by her sister, Harry, and the usual cast. Things aren't going too good in her personal life.

Good book, as usual from Kathy Reichs. Bring on the next!

Tempe tries to locate a friend that was lost years ago. Great read.

Good twists to the plot. This is one of the best in the series, but they are all good.

Another "Bones" story set in Canada, but tied to Tempe's fond childhood memories of summers with grandma at Pawley's Island in the Carolinas. Less forensics and more good ole' detective work without too much of the relationship garbage that ruins some of Reichs' other books for me. Tempe's sister Harry plays a major role in this who-done-it and she's an interesting character. Poetry analysis adds a new twist. But I could do with less French (or MORE translation)!

I really like Kathy Reichs and this book is no exception. Tempe is involved in two investigations simultaneously--and one touchs her childhood experience of losing a friend. I enjoy the on-going problems inherent in Tempe's relationship with her cop friend. Reich's books are well written and engaging, and the reader usually learns something along the way.
