Series: Body Farm
by Author Jefferson Bass
Carved in Bone (2006)
Not for the squeamish, The Body Farm grabbed my attention from the get- go, and never let go until the end! I read it in one day. Fortunately this book was suggested to me by my GR friend Michael, as a candidate to read in my Road Trip USA Challenge, for the state of Tennessee. I am so glad I fol...
Flesh and Bone (2007)
I will admit, I have been trying to read this book for about 6 months now. It isn't that the story or the writing is bad, it is just that the first 13, to me were just really slow and didn't really leave me wanting to turn the pages. There were just small bits of exciting things, like the crime s...
Cut to the Bone LP: A Body Farm Novel (2013)
Prequel...I haven't read the rest of the series yet but I am really interested now. Better than some of the previous books in this series. It was good to get some background.
The Bones of Avignon (2012)
Good novel. I loved how history, art and criminology all interacted at once. I did not know it was a book series but you definitely don't have to read the previous books to read this one. However, the mystery wasn't really a mystery as the reader is able to solve the case by the middle of the boo...
Cut to the Bone (2013)

The Inquisitor's Key (2012)
It turned out to be better than I thought it would be. The author put some effort into creating a parallel story set in the Renaissance to give some depth to the mystery. The plot reminded me a little of the only Robert Ludlum book I have read, but that was 25 years ago and I do not remember the...
The Bone Yard (2011)
This book in the series was as well-written as the others, but the plot was the most upsetting to me. Unfortunately, there was a lot of truth used in the plot line - abuse at a boys "reform" school. It broke my heart to read some of the things that were done to those children. However, the author...
The Bone Yard. Jefferson Bass (2011)
This was a gruesome read. The writing team managed to suck me into the story not only on a surface level, but on a deeper emotional level. This story turned my stomach and what makes it even worse is that it is based on the Florida Reform School and the horrors that occurred there. I went on to d...
