Format: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.

Format: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.

I was pleased to see another thriller starring my favourite pathologist. It was a little disappointing, however, that Reichs seems to have leapt upon the Da Vinci Code/Labyrith... Read more

Unbelievable
Kathy Reichs is a new author to me and it would appear that I picked on her worst book, but it is most unlikely that I would be tempted to read any of her other offerings. Read more

Best Reichs so far!
Anyone who reads Reichs' books knows what to expect, but this one is particularly intriguing. The romantic sub-plot is both satisfying and trite at the same time, but the main... Read more

Enough of Reichs!
I was given a set of 10 Kathy Reichs books from a friend who knew I liked 'thrillers'. I'm a Michael Connolly, Jeffrey Deaver fan. This is the third book I've attempted. Read more

Five stars to redress the balance.
Not so much a review as a balancing response to the deluge of criticisms here, many of which are unfounded. Read more

The website stated that the condition was "good" but once I received the book and looked through to check the condition, there were some pages that were loose. Read more

If you like the series bones you will love this book. Just as expected it was full of wit and intrigue.

Kathy Reichs Novel
Yet another great read. If you don't like it, it's probably because you were expecting the book Tempe Brennan to be just like the TV Tempe Brennan. Read more
