A review by bibliophilelinda
The Bone Thief by Jefferson Bass

2.0

The hardest part about finding good crime thrillers for someone who has a strong science foundation and a penchant for reading well-written crime novels is having to wade through the mediocre to find those rare diamonds (well, I guess the same can be true for much of life, like dating). Unfortunately, this is another one of those oh-hum, mass market appeal, watered-down forensics story. Bummer. The storyline felt sloppy, loose and totally predictable. Well, predictable except for one minor revelation at the end that was really unimportant. I had high hopes for this series, since it seemed similar to Kathy Reich's Temperance Brennan books. Alas, Reich's still reigns. I wouldn't recommend the story to a friend unless they can't find anything better. And, there's ALWAYS something better.
