Cross Bones by Kathy Reichs
2.0
heh. this was disappointing.
don't get me wrong—“cross bones” had its moments for sure. i'm not religious, for example, but the subject intrigues me quite a bit. so, despite the terrible timing, i was very much on board with learning more about this incredible story.
thing is, aside from a juicy discovery here and there, the rest of this book fell kind of flat for me. i don't even really know why, or how to explain my dissatisfaction with the story. i guess it's just a fact of life—something i have to accept for what it is, and move on. god knows there are enough books left in this series for kathy reichs to “redeem” herself. joking!
i missed claudel in this, even though i get why he wasn't involved. what i don't get, on the other hand, is not getting to see him ever again. i remember reading in an article that kathy reichs just stopped writing him in their stories at some point, simple as that, and i'm afraid i already reached and passed said point. sigh.
