audio book
Rating 4/5
As usual, I enjoyed Kathy Reichs newest mystery featuring doctor Temperence Brennan. The show Bones is loosely based off her character, but if you will be disappointed if you think the books are like the television show. I think they are better. I've always liked Reichs writing because she doesn't dumb down a lot of what she writes about. She uses technical jargon, but explains it in a way that is not insulting to an intelligent reader.
I did not find this book as good as her other novels, but it could be because I listened to it instead of read it. There wasn't as much action in this book as the others. It started with Brennan describing her childhood friend Evangeline who disappeared when she was 12 years old. Brennan never stopped wondering what happened to her friend even almost 30 years later. When a girl turns up dead in the river Brennan tries to find the girl's identity. She finds that there are a number of missing teenage girls and some who have turned up dead. It of course ties into the story of her missing friend. As Tempe solves the murder of what happened to the girls she also solves the mystery of Evangeline.
