So happy to finally be reading the series! Found the book at an op shop while watching the Bones tv show and now I've fallen in love with the books too!

I love Temperance and this was another fun and exciting jaunt. There are underground bunkers, crazy radio conspiracy theorists, bad sun tea and not enough Ryan.

Another fantastic book by Kathy Reichs! I like that she touched upon current affairs, the world is rife with fake news and conspiracy theories, misinformation. Thoroughly enjoyed reading.

A Conspiracy of Bones, the latest of Reichs’ novels featuring forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan, is set against a backdrop of conspiracy theories and the deep web.
The goodies and baddies are clearly identified from the outset and Brennan doesn’t spend too much time on forensic anthropology, but lots of time haring off after villains.
After having been swept up in the chase, the ending feels like lying on a slowly deflating airbed – not just an anti-climax but quite depressing when the case comes too close to real-life.
A shame, because I’d enjoyed it till then.
Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for the arc.
