Another great one from Kathy Reichs... and yet another reason I have trouble with the TV show Bones. Tempe from the books is NOT just an older version of Dr. Brennan on the TV Show!!!! Tempe is warm and loving, predictable with her penchant for lunching on Diet Coke and dining on microwave dinners. She gets frazzled when people distort justice and, yes, she falls in and out of LOVE. One great mystery and a great read for the Halloween season.
This book was better than the first book of hers I read. The characters are a little more likable than before. Now I will say that I read the first book and then jumped to this one because the first one was very disappointing to me.

Really enjoy the books in this saga where I learn a lot, much like cross bones but here learning about wicca, santeria, satanism.. Another one of the bones saga with so many twists and turns it's hard to put it down!!

This mystery novel is book 11 in the Temperance Brennan series. I was getting kind of weary of the series lately, so I switched to audio books, because now that I have started (and bought all the books in) the series, I want to finish it. It's an ok read, kind of lengthy.
This book stars Temperance Brennan, like all of Kathy Reich's other books.
In this book Brennan is called in to examine some bones that seem to be related to devil worshiping of some sort. Given that this book is set in the Deep South, this leads to an up rising in the moral majority, who see the practice as cause for concern.
When bodies start dropping left and right, the police, and Brennan must act quickly before all hell really breaks loose.
This book is a return to form for Reivhs. There are fewer "spectacular Coincidences" that allow Brennan to tie 14 murders up in a bow, and there's less of a tendency by Reichs, the author, to remind us of the plot so far every 20 pages, which she's done in the past.
So if you can get over the "high science content" of having bones explained to you, you might enjoy this book, though having said this, the science content isn't as high as it was in other books either.
