The best Reichs yet! Read it in 2 days and only because my toddler son needed attention or it would have been a 1 day read! Great plot, great suspense, great read!
I enjoyed this one a lot. It kept my interest and was hard to put down.

Summoned to South Carolina to fill in for negligent colleague, Tempe is stuck teaching a lackluster archaeology field school in the ruins of a Native American burial ground on the Charleston shore. But when Tempe stumbles upon a fresh skeloton among the ancient bones, her old friend Emma Rousseau, the local coroner, persuades her to stay on and help with the investigation. When Emma reveals a disturbing secret, it becoes more important than ever for Tempe to help her friend close the case. The body count begins to climb. An unidentified man is found hanging from a tree deep in the woods. Another corpse shows up in a barrel. There are mysterious nicks on bones in several bodies, and signs of strangulation. Tempe follows the trail to a free street clinic with a belligerent staff, a suspicious doctor, and a donor who is a charismatic televangilist. Clues abound in the most unlikely places as Tempe uses her unique knowledge and skills to build her case, even as the local sheriff remains dubious and her own life is threatened.Tempe's love life is also complicated. Ryan, her currant flame, has come down to visit her from Montreal, and Pete, her former husband, is investigating the disappearance of a local woman-and he and Tempe is staying at the same borrowed beach house. Ryan and Pete compete for her attentions, and Tempe finds herself more distracted by her feelings for both men than she expected.
Good book as usual from Kathy Reichs. If you like CSI or Bones from TV, you should enjoy this book.
Very good book. It kept me guessing.
Another great sory of Tempe Brennan and the fascination science work she is into. If you have seen "BONES" on TV this is where it all comes from. You will enjoy.
