A review by celiapowell
Bones to Ashes by Kathy Reichs

2.0

I don't know why I keep picking up Kathy Reichs' books - I'm am always disappointed with them. While the mystery in this one was fairly engaging (forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan believes that an anonymous skeleton of a young girl belongs to a missing childhood friend), it's almost too convoluted, with its twists and turns neatly confined by chapter, and almost every chapter ending in a, "He turned towards me with a look of horror," moment. I really hate that little writing habit of Reichs' - it's so TV, just like a mini-cliffhanger before we go to an ad break.

I also got sick of Tempe's off & on relationship with cop Ryan - I'm not invested enough in the main character to give a damn about her relationships, really. I think I'll head to other authors and other series to get my mystery fix in future.
