A Conspiracy of Bones by Kathy Reichs

4.0

One of those where I almost don’t want to give a high rating just because the subject matter is so nasty. But it is timely and clever and tightly plotted and quick-paced, and I always appreciate the Brennan novels. Even if I do feel like there are still far too many sentence fragments in the writing style. And Reichs might need to grab a sensitivity read on describing Black characters without using food metaphors. Other than those qualms, I got what I came for with this book. The author’s note on Reichs’ inspirations for different aspects of the story was particularly cool. One of her inspirations was a case I already knew from Buzzfeed Unsolved, so that was neat.
