Another good entry in this series. I liked that this case didn’t wrap up perfectly, it made more real.

I liked this book a bit more than I have Reichs previous ones as they were becoming a little repetitive. This one however steered a little differently, without the usual Tempe in mortal danger whilst tracking down deranged criminals. I look forward to the next one.

Book 10 A major disappointment. Very dark. Ugly plot direction. Disorganized writing made it difficult to follow. Plot twists that just weren’t believable. Hope the next one is better.

Kind of gruesome. Nevertheless will keep the series in mind for trains and planes.

I love the series Bones so I love this book as well. The french pronunciations tripped me up a bit but really liked the descriptions of bones and the mystery behind the cases. If you like the Bones series you will like Reichs' books.
