Bones of the Lost by Kathy Reichs

jeffcass's review against another edition

3.0

My first Tempy Brennan novel.

An original take on Afghan human trafficking, this has all the suspense, mystery and investigation of a good detective novel.

The forensic aspect was lacking though, so I shall be checking out earlier TB novels since I heard they have a greater focus on forensic anthropology, which is more to my liking.

I really struggled to understand what was going on, who was saying what lines and just hard to picture where they were half the time. Really struggled

Tempe Brennan untersucht den Mord an einer jungen Frau und deckt dabei weitreichende Zusammenhänge auf.

Zu Beginn hatte ich Mühe ins Buch reinzukommen, da an es mehreren verschiedene Schauplätze spielt. Als ich die Zusammenhänge zu sehen begann, konnte ich es aber fast nicht abwarten, wie sich der Fall aufklärt.
