I waited so very long for this book, so I might have expected too much, but the lack of Tempe doing forensics and the lack of most of the normal supporting characters left me sad.
Tempe Brennan is back and but this time Tempe is on the outside of the investigation.
The case that Tempe is investigating has many different elements and aspects. Which keeps the story interesting and gave elements of danger as Tempe is investigating on her own. There are times when I was annoyed with Tempe and her actions. She is a little reckless, but I kind of understand. When something happens in your life that shakes you to your core you can do some crazy things.
I have watched some programs regarding preppers, meaning when Tempe went down the darknet rabbit hold and found out about missile silos being converted to homes. I could picture it very clearly and it made the story more real as people are converting them as we speak.
Although Slidell helps Tempe with certain aspects of the case she is a lone wolf. It's a shame we don't have more Ryan as I do enjoy the banter.
One of the reasons I enjoy this series is that we have the science that backs up the investigation. But it is written in a way that is understandable and interesting, without making you feel stupid. I also like that Tempe gets technological support from her octogenarian mother.
My Rating for A Conspiracy of Bones is 4 out of 5.
Thank you to Netgalley and Simon and Schuster UK for supplying me a E-ARC of A Conspiracy of Bones for a fair and honest review.

I received this book from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.
I'm a fan of Kathy Reichs books and the show Bones, so I was absolutely thrilled when my request to read A conspiracy of Bones was accepted. This book is fantastic, a wild ride and a compelling and intriguing mistery. When our main protagonist sees a trench coat man around her house and then get some crime scene photos of a dead faceless and handless man on her phone, Temperance decided to investigate, but her physical and professional life isn't easy. At all.
Larabee, her boss, is dead and the new one shares a bad history with her, since Margot Heavner was called (and it was true) unprofessional by Brennan when she disclosed information regarding an active missing kid case with a broadcaster, Nick Body, known for his outlandish teories about vaccines, conspiracy theories and so on.
Temperance has an aneurisma (as the writer) and suffers from headaches, her child is in a war zone, her mother has a new boyfriend and cancer and she still has to decided if live with Ryan is what she wants or not. So her life is complicated and it's not helped by this case, but clues about a old disaster, missing kids and conspiracy theories pushed Temperance to seek Skinny Slidell's help, Hawkins and other friends, while trying to recover from the professional exile Havner imposed on her.
The plot is complex and Brennan fights all the time with theories and self-doubts, asking herself what is real, what is not, scared for her aneurysm, her brain, her memories, navigating this complex investigation. As always the book is full of twists and discoveries and a lot of learning. I learned what is the deep web, or about the livor mortis and the reading was interesting and intriguing. I couldn't be more happier to have read this book, the ending was really realistic and full of hope and hardwork. It touches a lot of topics, from broadcasters who used people's fears for their gains, child pornography and disappereances, the cute and creepy discoviery about zombie ants, the deep web. I really loved and enjoyed this book and it was interesting seeing the brilliant Brennan battling with self-doubts and what-ifs, it was absolutely relatable.
Brennan is an amazing and realistic character, you can't not root for her and her journey, her growth, her works. Ryan was lovely, brilliant and cheeky as always and I really enjoyed reading about Slidell and his partnership with Brennan, his expletives, so colourful, his being a really good guy, fighting for the truth.
I loved reading about Temperance's brain processes, how she remembered and connected various bit, having epiphanies and discoveries. Absolutely fantastic. I wish I had half of her brain, sometimes XD
5 stars, a fantastic journey and an another wonderful book

Thank you to Netgalley and Scribner for a free digital copy that I read in partnership with the audio.
As a HUGE fan of the TV show Bones, I am shocked that this is my first Temperance Brennan novel to read. And although it is not the same as the TV in many ways, I really enjoyed diving into the world of the book version of Brennan. Now I am going to need to go back and start the series at the beginning because starting at book #19 has me wanting to know ALL the backstory. That being said, this book can be enjoyed as a standalone because the case presented in the book is so multifaceted and interesting that it constantly has you (and the characters) guessing. I liked that so much. The ending made sense, but wasn’t rushed as so many mystery/thrillers I read are. That gets automatic high praise from me.
