As always, it was a quite okey book. What an odd thing to read about Tempe’s conditions and operation and what not but not having heard any of it before. It felt a bit under-explained.
The story itself was quite thrilling, though not as good as others I’d say. The oddest thing was the whole product placement bit—it felt like there were more specific products named and advertised than in a tv show riddled with ad breaks. Hope that is not gonna continue into the next few books.

I found the story moved along swiftly at the beginning but seemed to get bogged down in the details about half way through. Unfortunately I found the book less enjoyable than I normally would as Tempe decided to turn almost full time private investigator which was slightly disheartening. I also found it a bit difficult to keep up with the characters.
Despite this the story has many twists and turns to keep you guessing. Some subject matter is slightly disturbing but such is the nature of crime. The science as usual is handled brilliantly. There’s a lot going on for one story (it’s a conspiracy after all) so depending on your preference this can either be a good thing or not..

I tried reading this one quite a few times, but I could never get into it. The writing style really isn't for me and I just found myself constantly confused about what was going on.
Is anyone else not surprised that Temperance has an aneurysm? Couldn’t be from the 19 times she’s been hit over the head and knocked unconscious?
I don't know if I am disappointed because I waited too long and my expectations were too high, or just because this book doesn't even seem to be written by Kathy Reichs. Tempe is always borderline hysterical and I remember her totally different, the story is not particularly good because many things seems to happen random and in the end I didn't like it so much. Maybe next time....
Non sono sicura se sono rimasta cosí delusa perché, dopo aver aspettato cosí tanto le aspettative erano troppo alte o perché non sembra un libro scritto da Kathy Reichs. Tempe sembra una pazza isterica, che si mette costantemente in pericolo e che sembra trovarsi o sempre al posto giusto al momento giusto o sempre al posto sbagliato, ma sopravvive perché é fortunata, la storia sembra messa insieme con dei pezzi a caso e quando arriva la soluzione é pure quella sbagliata, ma poi va bene lo stesso, come se fosse una spiegazione random e insomma, non mi é piaciuto.
THANKS EDELWEISS FOR THE PREVIEW!
