Summary: Rambling, confusing and ultimately boring
Comment: This was my first Kathy Reichs book and it was quite disappointing. Too many characters and subplots made this book confusing and rambling. The plot was interesting so I kept reading, but it was difficult to keep going and I had to resist the urge to skip to the last chapter. I have read the most recently published books of other "series" and enjoyed it so much that I read the entire series. But I would not read another Reichs book.
Rating: 5
Summary: Lots of Bones, Lots of Bodies
Comment: Dr. Tempe Brennan is investigating the charred remains of a newborn. Detective Slidell suspects the teenaged mother's involvement, but Tempe feels there is more to this case than meets the eye. Then her dog Boyd discovers human bones at a picnic. This is the last thing Tempe needs as her long-awaited weekend with Andrew Ryan, is about to begin. A plane crash and two more bodies further complicate Tempe's already overworked existence. Tempe comes to believe that all this is related and the bad guys soon her her in their sights.
As usual Kathy Reichs has delivered the goods, just the right blend of romance, action, suspense and grisly description.
Rating: 4
Summary: While not her best, still a page turner
Comment: I should qualify that the first book I read by Reichs was Fatal Voyage, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Overall, Reichs continues to be a breath of fresh air in a world of formulaic "airplane books." I've read the other postings and agree with some of the comments, so be prepared: there were a lot of characters (not overwhelming), the plot lines were at times hard to keep straight, there was a somewhat erroneous subplot about a teenage mother and some serious wildlife conservation advocacy at the end. Yet, unlike some authors, her plots in this book are more unique. Take for example a war veteran who opens an adventure vacation program in the mountains becomes a drug dealer and animal poacher. Not bad since he serves as the central character connecting most of the story's elements and we never meet him, well, alive. Like Fatal Voyage, as the story progresses, you're not just reading for plot. I actually learned a fair amount about forensic science, North Carolina and wildlife which makes the book a richer read than a straight thriller. All of this was complemented by the well developed character of Temperance Brennen---single mom, dedicated to work, and still has to find time to walk the family dog. So while this book is not as great as some of her other work, if you're looking for a quick, light read with a slightly interesting spin you won't be wasting your time.
