The Good: Full on honest emotion. A turning point, perhaps? While this installation of the Temperance Brennan mysteries did little to impress me investigation-wise, the human aspect of the book carried me through and kept me fully invested in Tempe's personal life.

The Bad: This mystery was sort of ridiculous. I'm sorry. I love Kathy Reichs, but the way the story resolved itself was just beyond improbable. The killer was just ludicrous, seeming like a poor attempt to pull all aspects of the story together in the end. Everything in this book, from the killer to Tempe going to Katy's site all felt just way too coincidental.

Leon Aldrich A close friend adores Reichs. And while I love the show, I couldn't get into her first novel. I prefer a grittier author like Tess Gerritson.


Jennifer The show is so very different than the book series. Beyond the very basics of her job, they're are almost about 2 completely different things altogether.
