Fiction. Mystery. Suspense. Thriller. HTML:Internationally acclaimed forensic anthropologist and New York Times bestselling author Kathy Reichs explores the Stockholm syndrome??the psychology of a captive submitting to the ideology of a captor??in this mesmerizing new thriller.
/> Temperance Brennan, forensic anthropologist for both North Carolina and Quebec, has come from Charlotte to Montreal during the bleak days of December to testify as an expert witness at a murder trial.

She should be going over her notes, but instead she's digging in the basement of a pizza parlor. Not fun. Freezing cold. Crawling rats. And now, the skeletonized remains of three young women. How did they get there? When did they die?

Homicide detective Luc Claudel, never Tempe's greatest fan, believes the bones are historic. Not his case, not his concern. The pizza parlor owner found nineteenth-century buttons in the cellar with the skeletons. Claudel takes them as an indicator of the bones' antiquity.

But something doesn't make sense. Tempe examines the bones in her lab and establishes approximate age with Carbon-14. Further study of tooth enamel tells her where the women were born. If she's right, Claudel has three recent murders on his hands. Definitely his case.

Detective Andrew Ryan, meanwhile, is acting mysteriously. What are those private phone calls he takes in the other room, and why does he suddenly disappear just when Tempe is beginning to hope he might be a permanent part of her life? Looks like more lonely nights for Tempe and Birdie, her cat.

As Tempe searches for answers in both her personal and professional lives, she finds herself drawn deep into a web of evil from which there may be no escape. Women have disappeared, never to return...Tempe may be next.

With its powerful mix of nail-biting suspense and cutting-edge forensic science, Monday Mourning is the best yet from this superbly gifted, megastar author who, as New York Newsday says, is "the real th… (altro)

(2004)Another very good procedural following Temp Brennan as she tries to determine the identity of 3 skeletons found under an old pizza parlor in Montreal. Leads to sex slave criminal with Stockholm Syndrome thrown in to the nth degree as one of the kidnapped turns out to be the ultimate murderer.

I really hate Tempy. She is a garbage character and terrible friend. She’s shitty and assumes the worst of EVERYONE. In this book she was especially slow, clueless, and gullible. I HATED how the clue to the pizza shop was like right away and we had to wait till MIDWAY through the book before Tempy finally got curious. Also add in the fact Tempy didn’t EVEN blink when a victim gave her orders even “after all her research” nah it’s crap. I’m not even sure I’ll continue with the series. This was a tough read to try and get through. ( )

Well, patterns established, pace is right, everything is going as expected. Little bit sad I saw where all this going too soon, but that's only thanks to tons of other criminal series I watched and read that explored the same possibility. But I won't touch that subject. No way.

I like how this series after first two books that was going down suddenly going up and up now. I really like that. ( )

I love this series. Reichs' books are always fast-paced and well-written, with an array of intriguing characters and a genuine mystery at their core. MONDAY MOURNING was no exception, although I had trouble with the subject matter about 3/4 of the way through. Not because the topic wasn't well handled but because it was a little too brutal for me. My tolerance for vicious abuse of girls and women is low these days. Still, MONDAY MOURNING delivered thrills, chills, and the complex forensic anthropology I'd come to expect from Kathy Reichs. I can't wait to see what Tempe does next! ( )

Three women are found in a pizza parlour basement and Dr Brennan is on the case. This thriller is borderline gory with a murder mystery that is not for the faint of heart. The adventure escalates to heights that seemed stretched for a forensics archaeologist, even for one as passionate as Brennan. I did, however, enjoy walking in the streets of Montreal in the dead of winter. Reichs has a great way of describing situations with a few deft words that keep the story moving along. ( )
