#12 in the Tempe Brennan, Forensic Anthropologist series.Tempe Brennan teams up with Ryan in the search for a serial killer preying on old women. A pervading theme of the novel are attempts to sabotage Tempe's reputation. This theme is tied to a heavy handed message about the need for board certification as a quality control measure. Tempe's self doubts and slowness in nailing the culprit don't ring true. I was a fan of the show before I started reading the books and I always enjoy the books. This is another solid book, featuring Temperance Brennan and Lieutenant Ryan as they work to solve not only a series of murders but to discover who is apparently going after Temperance as well, just as she begins to have doubts about her work. This book is excellent, with a wide range of characters, both new and old. The two story line intersect wonderfully, without bogging each other down and as always, the mystery unfolds slowly, without rushing it so that you can really delve into it while reading.
Do You like book 206 Bones (2009)?
This book improved towards the end but I became frustrated at having to wait that long.
