first in the series and of course, I've read all the other ones first! Really like this author...not alot of sex and not alot of violence. You always learn something about science/forensics/history in her books. Strong characters. Strong plot. Enjoy!

Helpful Score: 3
If you have not read any of this series you must. Love the story line and all of the great characters. One bone and Diane is doing her forensic investigation and of course solves the mystery. This is the second in the series that I have read (you don't have to read in order). I plan to get all of her books and read them. Enjoyable read and keeps you trying to figure out the end. TRY!! TRY!! Barbara

I love the Diane Fallon books. I accidentally found the series on PBS and had to get at least the first three before starting the series. I like that the main character has more than one occupation and the author carries each of these quite well. I enjoy books in which I can learn something else besides just reading a mystery - that is also why I like Kathy Reichs and Patricia Cornwell. I have read all of the Diane Fallon books and was not disappointed with any. I know the writing style was different, but did not affect my enjoyment of the books. She also wrote a series whose protagonist is and archaeologist (Lindsey Chamberlain), and those books are also very good and informative.
