This is one of the shorter books in the series-
I have been following this series of books for many years now and have always enjoyed every reading experience. Recently I have revisited them again as my daughter wanted me to buddy read them with her after discovering the television series and then seeing the books in our bookshelves. Even though I explained that the books and TV show are two different entities, she was still determined to read them. So here I am, many books later and enjoying them just as much as I did the first time. I am glad I read the books before seeing some of the television show because otherwise I may not have liked them quite so much. Temperance is depicted differently on the show than in the books. Although there are tie-ins of course. I don’t want to go into too much detail about it because I don’t want to spoil them for you.
Temperance Brennan is a bit of a quirky character- she’s quite complex, highly intelligent, a little damaged, but incredibly good at what she does. She’s a forensic anthropologist who is called upon to help in the trickiest of investigations. Through this series we get to tag along as she works, following her through the investigations, mysteries, and intriguing situations.
Each book is a great read in its own right, but as a series they help to develop a bigger and more intricate picture- giving greater insights into the character/s and backstory.
I recommend this series, it’s definitely worth the read. But keep a bit of an open mind if you’re a fan of the TV show- it’s not quite the same.
Happy reading!

A body in a barrel found near a NASCAR track. Trace of ricin. Then the FBI take the body. A cold case from over a decade ago. A militia group. So many disparate elements come together for a racing collision of epic proportions.
I have loved Kathy Reich's series and have read it from the beginning. This one was just okay.
Another excellent read. I'm a huge fan of the books and the show.

Meh. Maybe this is one of those books that needs to be read all at once. I read it very slowly over the course of a week, and so I had trouble following the plot. Also had trouble caring about the people, main characters or the new ones.
