Briar's Reviews

Temperance Brennan yet again is trying to solve a murder, and this time her relationship status with Andrew Ryan is on ice.

A group of women is found dead in a Montreal pizza parlor, and Tempe is forced to try to find the killer. Were these women here for hundreds of years? Or were they recently reburied? This novel will definitely fuel anyone's love of Kathy Reichs!

I found this book to be very addicting, and more exciting than many of the previous books. Clues are left throughout the book so the reader can get involved too, trying to figure out which characters are guilty, which are innocent and which aren't involved in the situation at all. 

The relationship between Andrew Ryan and Temperance Brennan is also explored to an extent. Those who were left wondering what might happen to everyone's favorite characters will finally have a little bit of closure in their relationship (until the next novel of course!)

Overall, I really enjoyed this book! The plot continues to move and there are no slow or boring points. It is addicting, and a step up from the previous Kathy Reichs book!

Five out of five stars!

A gripping Temperance Brennan novel from world-class forensic anthropologist Kathy Reichs, the international no. 1 bestselling crime thriller writer and the inspiration behind the hit TV series Bones. Three skeletons are found in a Montreal basement. The building is old, and the homicide detective in charge dismisses the remains as historic. Not his case. Not his concern. Forensic anthropologist Dr Temperance Brennan is not so sure. Something about the bones of these three young women suggests a different message: murder. Soon she finds herself drawn ever deeper into a web of evil from which there may be no escape. Three women have disappeared, never to return. Will Tempe be next?
