A Conspiracy of Bones by Kathy Reichs
3.0
I thank Netgalley and Simon and Schuster UK for gifting me this book to review. All opinions are my own.
#1 New York Times bestselling author Kathy Reichs returns with a fantastic new novel featuring her popular character forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan, who must use all her tradecraft to discover the identity of a faceless corpse, its connection to a decade-old missing child case, and why the dead man had her cell phone number.
For me this was a struggle, I couldn't get into it at all. Whether that was because of the story itself or because it's part of a series.. I think the latter. I'm one of those people who like to read a series in order so I know what is going on before but ive heard you can read the Brennan series as standalones. Unfortunately not me.
I found in places it dragged and there wasn't always enough explanation but that could be down to the fact it is part of a series and maybe the reader is meant to be clued up with the storyline already. Some parts did pick up when Tempe had to go rogue to uncover the answers as her new boss holds a grudge and is doing anything to keep her off the case.
I've watched the programme but never read the books and maybe I will add the series to my TBR but I'll definitely start at the beginning.
