Monday Mourning: A Tempe Brennan Novel

by Kathy Reichs

Pocket Star | May 24, 2005 | Mass Market Paperbound

The secrets of the dead are in her hands.

The bones of three young women are unearthed in the basement of a Montreal pizza parlor, and forensic anthropologist Tempe Brennan has unsolved murder on her mind as she examines the shallowly buried remains. Coming up against a homicide cop who is convinced the dead have been entombed on the site for centuries, Tempe perseveres, even with her own relationship with Detective Andrew Ryan at a delicate turning point. In the lab, the clean, well-perserved bones offer few clues. But when Carbon 14 confirms her hunch that these were recent deaths despite the antique buttons found near the bodies, Tempe''s probing must produce answers quickly to stop a killer whose grisly handiwork has seen the light of day.

    Another great book by Kathy Reichs. I love Tempe's grit and determination to solve this case. And since I haven't been reading in order, it was great to find out more about Tempe's personal life that falls in line with the more recent novels.

    This book is rich in forensic details and the plot is fast moving and captivating a real nail bitter. Although some scenes may seem implausible and far fetched I enjoyed reading it and I couldn't put it down.

    I do have to comment Ms Reichs use of the local language is not a true depiction of a French Montrealer there are mistakes in spelling and expressions. I also find like many other readers living in Montreal, she needs assistance describing the city and the language. But fiction is fiction and my comments shouldn't affect the enjoyment of this novel.
