Dr. Brennan is engaged to retrieve the bones of a nun, who may soon be made a saint. While on that assignment she is asked to work on identiying the remains of the victims of a house fire. Two of the victims are children. How does this fire relate to a skeleton found on a private primate reserve located off the coast of North Carolina? Excellent read.

This one was just as exciting as the others--although I admit, I do enjoy the TV show more than I do her books--this is definitely worth reading.

This is the first book I've read by Kathy Reichs, and I really liked it. I was kind of sickened by some of the morbid descriptions of the dead characters in the story, but all of that adds to the story's realistic vibe. I like Tempe's character, and I will probably read the rest of the series. The French was kind of annoying, but I don't think it hindered the story in any way. Great read.

These books are nothing like the TV series, although I now enjoy both. I like that there is a French connection - I get to read the French and know what it says before the translation - although there is not too much French. The mystery is great - sure there is murder and mayhem - but it is more about putting the pieces together than gore. You also get to learn about a lot science and procedure - very interesting stuff, especially when it is not in a textbook!

Although the story was very good for this one, it seems a little far fetched that she just happens to find bodies on vacation that just happen to be linked to crimes in Quebec. Still looking forward to reading the rest of the series though.

Temperance Brennon, forensic anthropologist, very different character from the television series. I am acutually glad that the characters are different, as well as the story.

Bodies are turning up everywhere in this girl's life. Slowly connecting the pieces together to a brain washing cult. Brennon finds she may be in deeper than expected when her sister Harry goes missing and her own life is threatened.

I loved the descrpitions of actions in this novel. Often things were so well described I felt like I was the main character. The plot unfolded in a way that surprised me but also left me dissapointed. Vague rushed tie ups in the last chapter left me saying "What?"

is good if you like this series.

Another great book. Temperance always finds the bad guy.

As the second in her series, I enjoyed this one more than the first. Not as dark as her first. An interesting story line about cults and their recruiting habits. I didn't realize that not all cults are religous in their bases. Made me think.

So far I have read the first two of Kath Reichs' books and have enjoyed them both. It is a whodunit with all the CSI mixed in.

very graphic in the morgue

Excellent forensics novel! Tempe is a great character.

Classic Kathy Reichs material. Viewers of the TV series BONES will recognize the skills of Temperance Brennan investigating the centuries-old secrets of the dead, and the more recent secrets that moves from the Carolinas to Texas to Canada. An absorbing read.

Investigative mystery into secrets of the dead.

Another great Tempe Brennan crime novel.
