Temperance Brennan is called to help identify victims in a plane crash that kills all aboard. While she is searching the site around the crash she comes across a foot and has to fight off a group of coyotes for possession. There is something odd about the foot - the age and racial profile don't seem to fit anyone who was on the plane. Also, the decay makes it seem that the foot has been in the forest for longer than the crash victims. When she starts asking questions though, she gets blocked by those in charge. She is eventually discredited in the investigation but can't let go. When one of her colleagues is murdered while helping her identify the foot, she really begins to worry. What she eventually uncovers is too awful for words and involves many powerful people.

Probably my favorite book so far and it has gotten me in the mood to watch season one of BONES!

Fatal Voyage was so good! Well, a lot better than the previous ones. I just feel like things were falling better into place. Plus, the twists and turns were so entertaining! Okay, so in this book you have two murder investigations going on: A plane crash and tons of mysterious murders by a secret club.

Both were intriguing enough, however, I cringed so hard when she was talking about the bodies state and when cannibalism was mentioned. YUCK! Then again, I am back to re-watching season one of Bones and I was so happy. She mentioned Montreal in the first episode and I HAVE NO IDEA HOW I MISSED THIS! My mind is blown and I have a feeling I'm going to like the rest of this series.

Other than all of that, Temperance really needs to get into fighting back or getting better at standing up for herself. Her character in the show can definitely take care of the bad guys all on her own - so I'm just twiddling my thumbs for that to happen now.

Overall, I loved the book and I can't wait to dive into the next audio tomorrow!!
