Book Reviews of Flesh and Bone (Body Farm, Bk 2)

LOVE THESE BOOKS! I have read all of the Body Farm Novels to date And I can't get enough. Great plot twists and dark humor. There are even skeletal diagrams in the back for all of us who aren't forensic anthropologists.

Nice twist at end.

EXCELLANT

Flesh and Bone is a must-read for anyone who has ever enjoyed the CSI shows or Bones (or the books by Kathy Reichs that inspired it). It's like that, only more realistic. For only the second book from the "Jefferson Bass" writing team, this book had a number of surprising twists that kept me reading it long into the night. There is enough misdirection added that the conclusion of the story is not at all clear until well into the book.

This was another good read in the series, although I didn't like it as well as I did CARVED IN BONE. I'm still enjoying the character of Dr. Bill Brockton, based on the author, but this second installment didn't hold my interest as thoroughly as the first title did.

That being said, though, there is a major shake-up in the plot with this one, and overall it's a good read. It just took me quite a lot longer to get through it than I had expected.

We'll see how the third one goes!

I thought this would be like Cornwell's "Body Farm" but it wasn't. Also, I was surprised at how the plot developed about half-way through.
