Unlike some fast moving books of this caliber, I found the timeline and historical information in Kathy Reichs' "Cross Bones" to be relatively easy to follow. Not only was this book a thriller with a lot of very hair raising moments, it also provided a lot of interesting, educational information that I enjoyed reading.
Love a good mystery, really enjoy the character of Temperance Brennan. Although wish she would be a little less sarky sometimes, and focus on the crime. Ryan is also a lovely character, and I enjoy their relationship.

Love the change of story for a change, very Dan Brown-ish.

Another great read from Kathy Reichs, but this time, there was a definite Da Vinci Code vibe which I LOVED

An average forensic procedural mystery. In this one Tempy is called to examine centuries old bones supposedly retrieved from the Massada massacre site of biblical times. People have already paid with their lives in trying to acquire this skeleton, which she calls Massada Max. A couple of archeologists are of the view that the skeleton is of Christ himself. Theories abound that Christ died as a ripe old man after having progeny of his own, and amidst an extended family. Tempy is drawn to Israel, in the wake of the finding, and , as usual lives are in danger. Her longtime boy friend, DI Andrew Ryan is also there following the investigation of a related murder. As usual she is embroiled in high intensity adventure.
