I wasn't thrilled with this one. I've read all of the novels in Reich's series, with the exception of Cross Bones, and I have to say that Deja Dead still ranks as number 1. This one was the only one that I didn't have a hard time putting down. Her newest novel, Bones to Ashes, is PHENOMENAL though. You need to read this one first in order to follow along!! I love the Ryan-Brennan side story. In this one, Pete throws a wrench in the spokes of Tempe and Ryan's unstable relationship! Overall, I… + read more

A Solid Entry in the Brennan Series

Temperance Brennan is back in this taught thriller. Working a summer teaching job on the shores of South Carolina, Brennan finds herself in the middle when bodies keep turning up, each connected to the previous. After being disappointed with Cross Bones, I am pleased to find Break No Bones as good as the previous books. Another solid entry in the Brennan series.

Too Cliche

Another great crime novel by Reichs, though I was a little disappointed with the whole "urban legend" basis of the story... seemed a little too cliché for me.

It was a nice twist to not be in Montreal, couldn't put it down. Wanted to know who done it. Ryan and Peter were bound to meet and at least there was some humour in it, can actually see the two of them doing just that. Cannot wait to read her new novel Synopsis coming in August/September.

Read Reichs

This is the series the new TV Show 'Bones' is based on. I love the TV series, but the books are always better. Tempe Brennan again kept me enthralled in the mysterious cases she is involved in. And then there is her personal life... While this story is based in South Caroline, Tempe also works part-time in Canada, and it is fun to catch the 'Canadianisms' throughout the story. If you are a Kathy Reichs' fan, you don't want to miss this one. If you haven't read Reichs before, but you love… + read more

A great read!

I've read all of Kathy Reichs' books and eagerly awaited this one. I was not disappointed, although I missed at least part of the book being set in Montreal. I always miss her Montreal collegues, LaManche, Claudel, Charbonneau, but especially Det. Andrew Ryan. This books seemed more personal and allowed for some growth for both Tempe and Ryan. I didn't care for the estranged husband angle and hope Tempe comes to her senses. And all the while Tempe is going through this personal stuff, there is… + read more

Far fetched

Dr Temperance Brennan’s work brings her and her archaeological students to an ancient Native American burial ground near Charleston. While there they uncover a decomposing body in a shallow grave. Why was this body buried in a clandestine grave? And what does the unusual hairline fracture and condition of the sixth vertebrae signify? What began as a simple project turns into a heated homicide investigation when three more bodies are found. While investigating, Tempe crosses paths with her… + read more

Whimsy

Very good. Nice blend of suspense, intelligence and humour. Who will Tempe eventually end up with? Much more relaxed and enjoyable than recent Patricia Cornwell.

Just okay...?

This was my first Temperance Brennan book by Reich's and I have to admit I wasn't blown away or overly impressed. I did find it interesting enough to get through and will probably read more of Reich's books in the future, however I will hope that the next I read will spark me a little more.
