To be, this was the worst book so far in the series. It brought all of the action, death, blood, and bones that all the Temperance Brennan series brings, but I just found it to be boring and predictable. Normally I do not see the ending coming, which made this book a little bit of a let down. For some reason, it didn't hit all the right notes with me. But, it was still a great read by Kathy Reichs! The novel was slow and painful to read. There was a lack of Andrew Ryan, and he is definitely a good source of comedy and strife with Tempe. This lack made the book feel slow and boring when they weren't going back and forth with ideas about the murders or their personal lives. I also found Pete to have less of a presence, and that made it even worse. If Ryan isn't there, Pete can at least give some sort of interesting conversation with Tempe! Overall, the lack of those two characters made the book seem slow. Ryan and Pete are both fun characters that bring up comedic or dramatic conversations with Tempe. Without them, the loss is clearly visible. I give this novel three out of five stars. Although I love Kathy Reichs and I am addicted to her novels, this one just didn't live up to the hype for me. One cannot help admiring the vast range of knowledge that Reichs has. The mystery this time takes a while to develop, even just to reach the stage of mystery. And, once again, Tempe gets beat up. How long can she go on like that? The characterizations are getting richer. One has to wonder when Slidell will have a stroke. Tempe goes on with very wide thinking narrowing the field. I decided to read the Temperance Brennan books after watching the television show Bones. The two are similar but also very different, I enjoy both. Kathy Reichs has a very detailed but still interesting writing style. I do not understand all of the technical jargon but that does not detract from my reading enjoyment. Tempe and Ryan are great characters and my favorite parts of the books are when they are in a scene together especially if it is out in "the field".
The twists are tragic and a frightening commentary on current society. Top-notch as always! As in Reichs' earlier novels, the plotting is sound, the suspense is intense but broken just often enough by dark humor, and the forensic education is graduate level. Reichs says she is not retiring Brennan any time soon, which is good news for readers of mystery fiction. Though the alcoholic Tempe goes on a captivating bender, the mystery itself is all too predictable. And Reichs' moral — ''Americans have become a nation afraid'' — is spelled out so clearly it's almost condescending. Appartiene alle SerieTemperance Brennan (11) È contenuto inMenzioni
