we are so back.
and by “we”, i mean, luc claudel.
a big chunk of my personality was shaped by this series. through kathy reichs, i rediscovered my love for the french language—fell in love with canada as a whole, and quebec in particular. needless to mention, the stories that take place here—whenever temperance commutes from charlotte for work—are my favorites. especially because i get to see claudel. sue me.
now that i'm really back into the thick of it, i can admit that my relationship with andrew ryan is more odi et amo than anything. i love him to bits, don't get me wrong, but the man can be annoying at times. and his romance with tempe, in this book especially, pissed me off quite a bit... when will the two of them learn to talk—communicate—like the grown adults they indeed are?
claudel, on the other hand, is everything to me. i love, love, love his dynamic with tempe—the way he ends up, every single time and without fail, protecting here. it makes my heart go whoosh.

I get sick of the formulaic nature of these books, but sometimes a nice easy murder mystery is what you're in the mood for.

Wow what an action packed book almost too bad to be true (as in fatalities and everything) not my fave but still good for the queen of death

LOVED this book. It definitely had a slow start. But I really hit a roll about 30 pages in. BONES is one of my favorite shows and it is interesting to see how the books compare. This is a great book is you love crime/thriller novels!
