Format:Hardcover
Kathy Reich's forensic anthropologist Tempe Brennan is back for her fouth time and is better than ever. Regular readers will enjoy the usual group of friends, family and cat. New readers will soon get to know these characters without feeling they have lost out by not having read Reichs previous novels.
The plot is initially centred on the site of a plane crash that Brennan is asked to attend, while salvaging remains of the crash site she is dragged into something a lot more sinister and complex than she or the reader could ever imagine. As well as trying to distance herself from the disaster for the sake of the families left behind by the tragedy, she also has to battle against a conspiracy to professionally discredit her.
Her old police ally and love interest Andrew Ryan is back on the scene as many sub plots weave around the main story line. Her cat Birdie also has a rival in the arrival of an orphaned dog, Boyd, a love/hate relationships develops.
The detailed descriptions of the technicalities used to establish the cause of the plane crash and other pathology references may be a little overwhelming, but as ever Tempe's story is gripping to the end.

It is my mission to read all of Kathy Reichs novels- this was my third! I'm not big fan of blood and guts on tv but reading it doesn't seem so bad. In this one we find our heroine making her way back from a job adn called to another, an plane crash in the woods. Everything seems straight forward - how did the plane fall from the sky but an extra body part is found-the plot thickens! I couldn't put this book down - I was desperate to find out what was going to happen, then, it dawned on me that these novel all have the same pattern. In the last couple of chapters the guy catches up with Tempe Brennan, knocks her out, ties her up, she escapes, bad guy gets caught by police and the answer becomes clear to Tempe. There are no mega twists and nothing to take your breath away. But, all in all its a pretty good read and easy going.

Versatile is the word for accomplished actress Katharine Borowitz who brings a wealth of film, TV, and stage experience to her book readings. She gives pitch perfect voice to the telling of this spellbinder.
Reprising Temperance Brennan, a forensic anthropologist, Kathy Reichs presents her fourth riveting thriller. Once again her story is grounded in authenticity which only serves to validate this shocking tale.
When Tempe Brennan hears on her car radio that a plane with 88 passengers is down in the North Carolina mountains, she heads for the scene. That in itself is tragedy enough but missing body parts and cannibalism make Reichs's plot boil.
As Tempe sifts through the grisly debris she comes upon a foot that doesn't seem to belong to any of the dead. She pursues this conundrum only to find herself ousted from her job by a conniving politico who has much to hide. To save herself and her reputation Tempe has a major life endangering mystery to solve.

Another good read
Once again another good read in the series, shame I have read most of them all out of order (a chronological list would be good). Fans will not be disappointed.

This one took a bit of patience at the start, the decriptions of the plane crash were a bit stomach churning (don't read straight after eating), but once you get past that, and... Read more
