It amazes me how Reichs always manages to get Ryan involved in Tempe's cases no matter where in the world she is...

I always like the Bones books and this one was pretty good. I was a little disappointed in the ending as it felt rushed and left me questioning where exactly we went on this journey. I would also appreciate more Ryan/Tempe time, because that is always good. I will keep reading!

Irritating author. She writes her books like she's writing for tv. They are two different genres.

Audio book performed by Barbara Rosenblat
Reichs writes a good suspense/thriller. Book six in the series starring forensic anthropologist Dr Temperance (Tempe) Brennan begins with the remains of an infant found in a wood stove. Before we know it Tempe’s planned beach getaway with Montreal detective Andrew Ryan is on hold while she investigates a plane crash and a bag of remains found in a park.
I enjoy these books for the forensic anthropology and quick pace. I’m irritated by Tempe’s continued “helplessness” – the woman never gets herself out of a jam, but is always rescued by the convenient arrival of a strong man. This particular book also got a little preachy on environmental / endangered species issues. I read mysteries / thrillers for entertainment; I don’t need to be preached to when reading them.
Barbara Rosenblat does a decent job of performing the audio book. She has a good pace and enough voice over talent to differentiate the many characters.
