Ho atteso molto l’uscita di questo libro, e rileggendolo mi ha ricordato tutti i motivi per cui mi piace questa autrice.

La sua prosa è asciutta e veloce, ma capace di far crescere il ritmo in modo rapido e repentino: sembra proprio di guardare un telefilm thriller! C’è l’intelligenza della protagonista, il suo acume mentale, ma anche la capacità di avere intuizioni e di fare collegamenti. Mi piace sempre molto quando riesco a cogliere dei nessi prima di lei, vuol dire che gli indizi sono stati sparsi in modo sapiente! Non riesco mai a beccare il colpevole, però, c’è sempre qualcosa di troppo difficile che non so o non conosco o non ne ho colto le implicazioni, e Temperance mi batte sempre!

Ho un po’ accusato la mancanza di qualche momento romantico, adoro l’agente Ryan e leggere delle emozioni che sconvolgono la razionale, rigorosa, impeccabile dottoressa Brennan facendole sperimentare un mondo che non è nè misurabile nè tangibile è incredibile.
Però devo ammettere che ciò che c’è stato è stato carino: una scena mi ha proprio sciolta, una roba degna delle storie rosa che scrivevo a sedici anni.

Ho amato per l’ennesima volta la capacità di Kathy Reichs di raccontare del mondo attraverso i suoi romanzi. La tematica affrontata in questo libro – fake news, cospiratori & co. – è quantomai attuale e ho adorato conoscere cose nuove su questi argomenti, sul dark web, sulle “dimore alternative” e su tanti altri piccoli argomenti. La ricchezza di conoscenza che mi rimane anche quando il caso è risolto è una delle cose che mi piace di più di questi romanzi, quando la tensione che ti tiene in bilico sulla sedie e ti fa stare sveglia di notte si è sciolta nell’impeccabile lieto fine.

Another well crafted Temperance Brennan novel. With plenty of twists and topical themes it is a good read , particularly for those who have read the preceding books.

I wrote an entire review and it didn't save so I'm mad and not rewriting it but the book was fine, I enjoyed it. It could have been clearer and more concise so that's why it gets 4 stars

I’ve watched all 12 seasons of the show Bones and was(still is) a huge fan! I’ve always wanted to read the series that the show was loosely based of off. I got an ARC version of this book a while ago and finally, got around to reading it. I was glad I did!

I obviously didn’t understand some part of the story as this is the 19th installment of the series and I missed quite a bit of background. I did enjoyed the mystery and Brennan’s personality in the book and also the author’s writing style! Now that I’ve gotten a taste of this series, I think I’m going to go back and start from book 1!

Temperance Brennan receives photographs of a corpse via text on her phone. She does not recognise the number that sent them. The corpse had been mutilated by feral hogs but the new medical examiner, Dr Heavner, someone Brennan has no respect for, does not call her in for a consult and the corpse remains unidentified. Brennan starts her own investigation but is hampered by the symptoms of her medical condition. Her investigation, with the help of Detective Siddell leads to a controversial radio host and has links with missing children cases.

Thanks to Netgalley, Simon & Schuster and Kathy Reichs for the ARC of this book in return for an honest review
