mcintoshheidi 's review for:
Cross Bones
by Kathy Reichs
This book starts off in Canada, but takes forensic anthropologust Tempe Brennan on a whirwind tour through the Holy Land in the search of the truth about an unnamed skeleton...
Normally, I tend to avoid books that are compared with other favourite authors or books, particularly ones that say "better than so-and-so". Mainly, because I am cynical of hype and suspect I will be disappointed. Also because I'm probably quite contrary and don't like being told what I "should" like.
So I have managed to get through life thus far without touching Kathy Reichs, mainly due to the comparisons with Patricia Cornwell, whose early books I absolutely adored but whose later ones left me somewhat cold. However, I decided that this was my chance and that the time had come to venture into Kathy Reichs' world, and wow! What a great ride it was! OK, OK, the plot may end up being a little far-fetched, but it certainly swept me along quite merrily with it and has encouraged me to seek out some more of her books for the future.
