A Conspiracy of Bones by Kathy Reichs
4.0

Thank you to Netgalley and Scribner for a free digital copy that I read in partnership with the audio.

As a HUGE fan of the TV show Bones, I am shocked that this is my first Temperance Brennan novel to read. And although it is not the same as the TV in many ways, I really enjoyed diving into the world of the book version of Brennan. Now I am going to need to go back and start the series at the beginning because starting at book #19 has me wanting to know ALL the backstory. That being said, this book can be enjoyed as a standalone because the case presented in the book is so multifaceted and interesting that it constantly has you (and the characters) guessing. I liked that so much. The ending made sense, but wasn’t rushed as so many mystery/thrillers I read are. That gets automatic high praise from me.
