Death du Jour by Kathy Reichs

5.0

I'm always a fan of the cult storyline. The different locations of murders and the threads that lead to the cult were intriguing I found. The coincidence of the body being found on the very day Tempe was on the island of monkeys and the sudden inclusion of her sister in the cult were iffy but understandable for the plot. I liked wondering who the cult leader was and I admit to being surprised by the answer. The inclusion of the hopefully soon to be sainted nun was a nice little subplot, though little is the operative word. The descriptions of digging in the harsh Quebec winter were solid enough that I was adding blankets to the bed as I read. I enjoy Brennan's struggle to do everything in never enough time as I think we all can relate to that.
