A Conspiracy of Bones by Kathy Reichs

4.0

Ah, Tempe, how I've missed you! I'm always excited for a new Temperance Brennan book, but this one has been a long time coming because of the author's health problems. I'm glad Kathy Reichs is doing better and I'm especially happy to have been able to read this book. If you love Reichs' popular heroine, you're going to love her newest adventure.

Tempe continues to be a great character - she's funny, brave, determined, hard-working, and fiercely devoted to the people whose bones she studies. I adore her. I also love learning about the forensic science techniques Tempe uses - Reichs explains them simply without talking down to the reader. Mystery-wise, this one has some interesting twists. It kept me reading fast and furious to find out what would happen next. I was a little disappointed that Ryan didn't have more of a role in the book. Overall, though, I enjoyed this newest novel. Welcome back, Tempe!
