I find there Temperence Brennan books to be quite uneven. This one had a good plot, but I got quite tired of the paranoia.
3,5 Sterne
Für mich eine Wohlfühlreihe. Ich mag Temepe echt gerne und daher finde ich es auch ok, das mich der Mordfall nicht ganz so überzeugt hat. Die Lösung war mir etwas zu konstruiert. Aber nach wie vor solide Unterhaltung. Außerdem ist es angenehm von realistischen Frauen in Führungspositionen zu lesen.

Having been a huge fan of the series Bones, I have dipped in and out of the Temperance Brennan series and I always enjoy the books when I do.
Things are not going well for Tempe, as she has previously clashed with her new boss who is now trying to keep her away from the department. Trying to solve a crime without the comfort and familiarity of her department means Temperance has a whole new set of challenges.
Another great addition to the series, which I continue to enjoy and plan on going back to read all of some day soon!
Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for a copy of this book.

Forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan’s life has been turned upside down. She’s still recovering from a brain aneurysm and isn’t quite sure she isn’t going crazy, the new chief medical examiner hates her and won’t hire her for cases she’s eminently qualified to work on, her long-distance relationship is complicated, and she’s been sent photographs of a faceless corpse. And, adding insult to injury, Charlotte, NC is sweltering.
Much of the book focuses on Brennan’s internal life and her efforts to prove the new CME incompetent. There’s not much on the real work of a forensic anthropologist since the CME won’t let her near her labs or the dead man.
Fans of the Brennan series are sure to like this much-delayed latest book, but if this is the first book in the series you’ve picked up, be prepared for lots of internal dialogue, angst, and reckless behavior of a character who is usually methodical, meticulous, and not stupid.
This is a well-written book but it has a slower pace than most of the other books in the series. However, it does pick up once Brennan engages a few of her colleagues to help her search for answers to the questions about the dead man. However, if you’re a fan of the author, you’ll be sure to want to put this at the top of your to-be-read list.
My thanks to Scribner and NetGalley for an eARC.
