A Conspiracy of Bones by Kathy Reichs
4.0
A Conspiracy of Bones by Kathy Reichs is a 2020 Scribner publication.
Following surgery for an aneurysm, Tempe is experiencing migraines and strange dreams, and is possibly seeing things that aren’t really there.
After receiving a text message with the image of a dead man, with no face or hands, she is intent on discovering the who the man is…
But- her new boss despises Tempe and has frozen her out of the investigation, which leaves her no other choice but to go rogue… with the help of Skinny Slidell.
While Tempe is not actually working in the lab- the forensics she in an expert is still featured prominently. I think I liked having her out ‘in the field’ working the case like a detective would. She and Slidell made a really good team.
The mystery is very engrossing, but the subject matter is quite very dark and quite disturbing, as is the use of the Dark web- unfortunately, though, it was all too realistic.
Slidell provides a bit of much needed comic relief on occasion- but one does, like Tempe, need to know how to take him. His having referred to the internet cloud storage as the 'fog' or 'the mist' made me laugh out loud.
Overall, an interesting addition to the series. Looking forward to the reading Reich’s newest release!
