A good mix of suspense and introspection without delving as much into macabre details as previous books. (Don't take that as a criticism, just a comment: I liked the earlier books just fine, but as a series develops you don't need to keep harping on certain details, so I appreciated the balance here.) Ryan's vanished to parts unknown, but at least Tempe has Birdie to keep her company. As always, I appreciate the small details. This is Kathy Reichs' 17th book about Dr. Temperance Brennan. Although it is a part of a series, I think you could read it as your first book as Kathy Reichs did a good job of providing enough backstory. It may make you want to read the other 16 though. I did enjoy the scene where Tempe and her cat, Birdie, were watching Bones (the tv show based on these books with Dr. Brennan being the main character). In this book, Tempe is asked to help on cases involving missing and murdered young girls. The cases lead Tempe and the team with the help of Tempe's mother to see that a serial killer is involved. It appears to be a villain that Tempe and her Montreal detective friend Ryan encountered in a previous book. The book includes plot twists like previous books but I don't want to give anything away. Good book with enough backstory, plot twists, and a logical ending.If you like the tv show Bones, I think you will like these books. If you hope to read about Dr. Brennan's mystery solving with her boyfriend/husband, FBI agent Seely Booth in Washington DC, you will be sadly mistaken.
Do You like book Bones Never Lie (2014)?
After a series of tepid books, the old bones is back. This one is a keeper.
