Search - Deadly Decisions (Temperance Brennan, Bk 3)

I enjoyed the suspense of this one - it could have ended in one of several different ways and I wasn't able to guess which way it would go. The personal relationships between characters was quite realistic and down to earth.

The heroine was detailed, logical, calculating, and ..... boring.

I don't watch "Bones" nor have I read any other Temperance Brennan books so I make no comparisons. This book was the first I had read by Kathy Reichs so I'm starting out with a clean slate.

The forensic details are amazing. They are technical and precise - intuitive and direct. I think they ran a bit long and could have been summarized a bit better and still maintained their "point." The lecture hall discussion about motorcycle gangs was interesting but it was like reading Wikipedia.

I suppose if it wasn't dead and/or in need of analysis, then Termperance really didn't know what to do with it. She's lost on personal relationships, as evidenced by the fact that she'd rather wait for a man than move on. A man she knows she may never hear from.

This book was a hard read for me.

Kathy Reichs' writing is engaging and makes for wonderful light reading, which makes this a good read even during the slower parts of the novel.

If you're a fan of the television series, be aware that the books are not at all similar. In my opinion, that's a wonderful thing. While Temperance Brennan's television self makes for humorous watching, it would be terrible to read about someone that disconnected from human interaction. Reichs' Temperance Brennan is transparent about what she feels and passionate about all aspects of her work and life.

Dr. Brennan is back at it again, this time digging up skeletons and secrets of Montreal's rough 'n rowdy outlaw motorcycle clubs. Complicating matters is Andrew Ryan's apparent sudden turn to the dark side and a visit from Brennan's bike-loving nephew.

Another solid mystery. However, at this point, Brennan has run out of family members to get in the middle of her investigation, so hopefully the next book will adopt a different formula.

Another great book by Kathy Reichs.

Very good book. Reichs, as Temperance Brennan, brings a lot of her real life experiences into her books. Makes for lots of twists and turns and unexpected
outcomes. Have already started on her next book.
