2.0 out of 5 stars
Very disappointing,
By LTB "research244" (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cross Bones (Hardcover)
I'm sorry, but this really isn't up to Kathy Reichs previous novels. The plot is turgid and slow and it is difficult to warm to the one dimensional characters. In the earlier novels characterisation was much better. If this had been the first Reichs novel I had read I would not be reading any more. Definitely not a page turner.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Good detail and informative but ultimately disappointing,
By Jacky (Cockermouth, Cumbria United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cross Bones (Paperback)
I enjoyed this book until half-way through when I'm afraid I began to find the repetition of information rather boring. It appeared that the author was worried I wouldn't understand all the scientific explanations of DNA or the consequences of what the protagonists were finding and so she kept repeating the same details in differing ways. I found this rather insulting and annoying.Also, apart from finding the murderer, which was not the most important aspect of the mystery, I felt that I learnt very little about the other, more major, enigmas in the novel. I have read all of the other Tempe Brennan novels and have been thrilled with them and read them avidly but, unfortunately, this one I almost didn't finish.
