This was okay. It seemed similar to the Kay Scarpetta books by Patricia Cornwell but not as good. There was suspense, but some parts seemed really obvious when perhaps they were meant to surprise the reader. In places, the writing style seemed too casual for my taste.

This was another good book from Kathy. I always enjoy the series. I suspected what was going on in the beginning and begged Tempe to figure it out sooner.

After 100 or so pages I just could not get into it. Started out great then the dialogue just bored me, making me skim a lot I'd it. Finally decided to call it quits.

The plot was a little hard to follow in this one, there were so many names flying around and a few B-plots going on. But I got the gist, and the last 50 pages that are always reliably action-packed were an exciting sprint to the finish!! Another classic Kathy Reichs installment.

I didn't enjoy this that much, maybe because I haven't read the previous books or because this was so different from the TV-series, which I enjoy a lot.

I really enjoyed this; after a slow start it really picked up and I was intrigued and wanted to read more.

For some reason, I read these books backwards. Out of curiosity I picked these up because of my love of the TV show Bones. The books are different but still have the same elements I love. The characters in the books are not the characters I love on TV but I am learning to love them too.
