Even though this book is an easy read and suspenseful enough, I was a bit disappointed about Reichs' foray into the daVinci-Code realm.
When forensic anthropologist Tempe Brennan examines the body of a murdered Jew who dealt in Holy Land antiquities, someone slips her an old photograph of a skeleton which proves to be the key of not only the old Jew's death, but also to a much larger mystery.

I enjoy Kathy Reichs, but this was not one of my favorites.
It became "too involved", and I had trouble following it.

This was one of the best Tempe books I have read to date. It kept me reading straight through. I would recomend this one to anyone.

I was listening to the audiobook of this and got as far as the 7th disk of 10 - roughly page 320. I just couldn't stand it any longer - extremely religious which I am not and have no interest in at all. I guess I should have read the premise before picking this one up. It is totally outside my comfort zone and interests. It's basically about a skeleton that was found in Jerusalem in the 1960s which is purported to be of Jesus Christ. This is Tempe's journey to Israel and her encounter(s) with various people trying to kill her in order to get the skeleton for whatever reason. Lots and lots of depth into the Christian religion, (and Jerusalem as well as various Arab religions, etc) and what this discovery (if in fact it is Jesus) will do to world religions.
The only thing I liked about this book was Andrew Ryan's dry humor. His one-liners are absolute killers.
