Review
"This series...just keeps getting better. [Bones of Betrayal] features both the most compelling story and the best portrayal yet of Brockton, who has completed the transition from fictional representation of coauthor Bass to fully realized protagonist."--Booklist
Product Description
Things have taken a dangerous turn at the Body Farm. Dr Bill Brockton and his graduate assistant, Miranda, have been called to a death scene. A body has been found in a frozen swimming pool. The dead man is found to have been a renowned engineer, responsible for the Manhattan Project, which produced the atomic bombs of 1945. And he's been poisoned by a radiation source. Now Brockton, Miranda and the ME who carried out the autopsy are in grave danger . . . Suffering radiation sickness and worrying for his friends, Brockton delves into the town's gruesome past to discover the dark secrets and lies that have lead to this engineer's murder and to find out who else the killer has in their sights.

I am a real fan of both Jefferson Bass and the Forensic Anthropology genre and this latest offering from Bass did not disappoint. Saying this, it was not the usual forensic anthroplogy fare as it focussed on radiation posioning, with a historical story running through it. However, the story was extremely interesting and gripping from beginning to end. As a measure of just how gripping, I started reading this last night and was up half the night reading it. I then spent the whole of today finishing it. The characters were well drawn, and the details of their lives unfolfed at just the right pace and the right times to suppor the story and the drama. The personal lives of the three main characters from all the body farm books were also developed further. The ending was brilliant and I did not guess how the stories would pull together at all. This was a brilliant book and I would highly recommend this, as well as all the eother body farm books by Jefferson Bass.

This is the first Jefferson Bass book I have read and I simply couldn't put it down. The plot grips the reader right from the start instead of being one of those books that you have to 'get into' first. The characters are true to life, intelligent and witty and the background setting is intriguing.
The plot twists and turns with new surprises all the way, and the reader is kept in suspense until the very end.
The forensic stuff is explained in every interesting detail, but in layman's terms so you aren't blinded by science.
An excellent book - I have now purchased all the other 'Body Farm' books in the series.

I have read all four books in the Body Farm Thriller series and Bones of Betrayal doesn't disappoint. The story is easy to follow, you are not taken up with lots of technical jargon, the story flows and you never lose track of the plot. Bill Brockton has a sense of humour and his character is believable. As the story concludes all lose ends are tied up and you never close the book wondering if you have missed something. It is an easy, believable read and, in my opinion, much better than Patricia Cornwall. I wait with anticipation for Body Farm Thriller Series number 5.
