Tempe is faced with some old bones. This time of an early-teen individual with some unidentifiable disease. At the same time, she is thinking about a childhood friend who went missing (30 years prior). Ryan is working with some cold cases, and although he and Tempe are on the outs, they work together on those cases. Tempe’s work on a unidentified teen’s skull ties in with some of Ryan’s cases, and the cases then tie in with Tempe’s childhood friend. Seriously, although some of the science was interesting, like in the previous book I listened to (Death Du Jour), it seems unlikely that all these random events would have intersected.

Again, an interesting mystery, good twist ending (that was a bit murky), and good characters that were somewhat lost in the rambling plot.

I love Temperence Brennan books and especially ones that take place in Quebec. This one was a real treat because it gave a glimpse into a very unique culture from my home in the Maritimes. Never for the faint of heart due to its graphic forensic detail, Kathy Reich books remain among my top guilty pleasures. Smart but still a rollicking, breezy read. Loved it!

3.5 * Again, not just a mystery/thriller but a history lesson to boot. Very much enjoyed (if it's possible to get enjoyment from leprosy).
