Review: Haven't read a book of hers for almost 14 years! I know, I've missed out. Love the way she builds her storyline till the very last chapter when all is revealed, nail-biting stuff. Hurrah, at last Temp and Ryan are on the right track! Can't wait to read the next novel

Review: I have read all the Temperance Brennan series at one time or another but this is the first one I have reviewed. The earlier novels I thought by and large were great. I guess the thing was that Kathy Reichs was able to make great use of her professional expertise in putting forensic anthropology at the centre of each plot, using it in a way that was fascinating to the non-expert reader like myself. Since then, alas, things have slipped a bit, at least to my way of thinking. Perhaps it is too much to expect forensic anthropology to remain fascinating as a subject over 17 novels and certainly in this novel and some other recent ones, while still playing a role it is not nearly so prominent. Most of Brennan's detective work seems to hinge mainly on inspired and not particularly forensic guesswork instead. The plot seems much more formulaic than of old and Brennan's long-lasting on-off relationship with Detective Ryan is surely tedious reading by now. Reich's prose style I also am beginning to find irritating. Short terse sentences I appreciate, but they seem a bit overdone here, particularly their use to end chapters on a note of suspense. It all seems a bit like lesson 1 from a course on thriller writing for the novice. If you are new to Reichs, this is still OK but not outstanding, but my advice is to search out the first eight or so of the series for a really first-class read.
