Kathy Reichs' books-on-tape are perfect to listen to during the commute back and forth to work! Bare Bones is one of my favorites! All of her colorful characters are there and there are plenty of twists and turns in the plot to keep the listener engaged. This deals with the illegal trafficing in exotic animals. Loved it!
Kathy Reichs' elaborate and detailed descriptions of the settings and characters help the listener to truly relate to (and follow) the intricate plot. While the TV series "Bones" is allegedly based on this literary series, this unabridged audio tape reveals a much more sympathetic and well adjusted Temperence Brennan.
