206 Bones was another killer novel by Kathy Reichs!
This novel was much better than the past few. 206 Bones has many twists and turns I did not see coming, which made it an excellent read. It is not as quick a read as the others, but it was definitely worth the read! With unpredictable twists and turns, and frustrations Temperance must over come, I couldn't put this novel down!
I would love if Kathy Reichs kept making books as good as this one! With less cliches, and more unpredictable twists and turns!
Five out of five stars!

Ugh, horrible. I probably shouldn't have started with the 12th book in a series, but it was the only one available from the library at the time. I ended up skimming a lot...I hate when writers ask questions to fill up the page. There was a lot of this happening in 206 Bones.
Dramatic irony much?? I just can't believe it took Brennan so long to figure it out.

Yeah, this was such a great book, going back and forth between Tempe being in a confined place, and then the mystery with the elderly ladies! Such a great book!

I came away from this particular mystery with the feeling that all CRM archaeologists are evil. Now, I am a CRM archaeologist, and I don't think I'm evil.
For the first time I am seriously considering requesting the abridged versions of Reichs' books. There were quite a few parts that got really bogged down with nonessential details. I did like how the story started, this is not a spoiler, with her waking up in darkness, bound and unable to remember how she got there and then worked backward.
Enjoyable and interesting enough, for what it is. Nothing fantastic.
A couple quibbles with the narrator that annoyed me throughout this and other Kathy Reichs books: someone who spends half their time in Montreal and speaks fluent French wouldn’t pronounce Montreal and Quebec “mawn-tree-all” and “kwuh-bek”.
And the weird, meta lecture about board certified experts at the end is a little off-putting – and unnecessary, as that message already came across loud and clear throughout the book. Repeatedly.

Really liked this one, it's been a while since I read one of these books and now I am having trouble remembering why I stopped reading. If you're looking for a crime drama with some science thrown in I would give this one a go
I have been following this series of books for many years now and have always enjoyed every reading experience. Recently I have revisited them again as my daughter wanted me to buddy read them with her after discovering the television series and then seeing the books in our bookshelves. Even though I explained that the books and TV show are two different entities, she was still determined to read them. So here I am, many books later and enjoying them just as much as I did the first time. I am glad I read the books before seeing some of the television show because otherwise I may not have liked them quite so much. Temperance is depicted differently on the show than in the books. Although there are tie-ins of course. I don’t want to go into too much detail about it because I don’t want to spoil them for you.
Temperance Brennan is a bit of a quirky character- she’s quite complex, highly intelligent, a little damaged, but incredibly good at what she does. She’s a forensic anthropologist who is called upon to help in the trickiest of investigations. Through this series we get to tag along as she works, following her through the investigations, mysteries, and intriguing situations.
Each book is a great read in its own right, but as a series they help to develop a bigger and more intricate picture- giving greater insights into the character/s and backstory.
I recommend this series, it’s definitely worth the read. But keep a bit of an open mind if you’re a fan of the TV show- it’s not quite the same.
Happy reading!
