Book Description

Publication Date: 1 Oct 1998

Bagged and discarded, the dismembered body of a woman is discovered in the grounds of an abandoned monastery.

Dr Temperance Brennan, Director of Forensic Anthropology for the province of Quebec, has been researching recent disappearances in the city.

Soon she is convinced that a serial killer is at work. But when no one else seems to care, her anger forces her to take matters into her own hands. Her determined probing has placed those closest to her in mortal danger, however.

Can Tempe make her crucial breakthrough before the killer strikes again?

Amazon Review

Reichs' stunning debut thriller draws on her experience as a forensic anthropologist in North Carolina and Montreal, but it has considerably more going for it than the mere stamp of authenticity. The devil is in the details, and it is the small betraying details--the alignment of cuts in bloody bone--that convince Temperance Brennan that a series of women, murdered in different ways, were killed and dismembered by the same hand and the same saw. Knowing what she knows is one thing, but convincing her police colleagues is quite another.

Reichs skilfully depicts police canteen culture and the way it ensures that someone who is an expert outsider, not one of the lads, is always going to have to go that extra mile to prove herself and her ideas. Brennan is a toughie, though, and not too fussy about demarcation disputes. Reichs has found a way of having her cake and eating it and giving us a detective who combines professional expertise with enthusiastic amateurism. Even more compellingly, the suspense is turned up several notches when Brennan realizes that she is hunted as well as hunter--they find the killer's lair and find her photograph among his trophies... --Roz Kaveney

Review

Deja Dead is terrific and terrifying in its own right ... Excellent plotting, appealingly headstrong heroine and superb mastery of tension (The Times )

4.0 out of 5 stars Deja Good ! 15 July 2007
By JimJamz
Format:Paperback
I have only recently come across Reichs and am glad I have. Having read all the Scarpetta series enjoying the most part. I thought I'd give Reichs a go. So I started at the beginning.
I found the book hard going at first trying to grasp the setting & the characters. Once half way through and the story got going I was totally gripped finding 'Tempe' a great character and the finale awesome. Look forward to now working my through the rest of the series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Scared me half to death! 25 July 2006
By SlayerKat VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback
I decided to start reading Kathy Reichs because I fell in love with the Bones series. For a larger novel, it's only taken me three days to read it. It's a real page turner and the end of every chapter leaves you gasping for more. It terrified me more than any thriller or chiller on the telly. I guess it's more scary because you have the visual element in your own head. Reichs describes everything perfectly. Whilst I understand that another reviewer said she has no 'writing flair' I actually find that I enjoy reading the long, detailed, pathologist-worded, graphic accounts. I always wanted to be a pathologist but discovered later in life that perhaps it wasn't a job well suited to me. Reading this novel was like being the main character, feeling every emotion, being in her shoes. Fantastic!. The only problem is now that the book scared me half to death, dare I read the next installment?

I discovered quite early on in the novel that it was going to frighten me. Curled up on the sofa I kept looking over my shoulder, daring myself to continue. I wanted to know what was going to happen but every page brought me closer to a personal fear, my heart caught up in my throat, my adrenalin cursing through my body (a harder work out than any trip to the gym). I found myself checking the locks when I went to bed. Is that the sign of a good book or not? You better read it to find out....

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent - if gory! 4 Sep 2006
By Mosschops
Format:Paperback
A great and enthralling read. A real page turner, with excellent characterisation and storyline. The only warning I would like to give is that not only the level of detail, but the horrendous acts that have taken place in the murder of the children particularly, took me well out of my comfort zone. One the one hand, this in itself is an interesting experience. On the other hand, I find this content so uncomfortable, and potentially nightmare-inducing, I do wonder if the books would be as good without it?? Nonetheless, a riveting read!
