Fatal Voyage
Fatal Voyage | Kathy Reichs
10 posts | 52 read | 10 to read
KATHY REICHS, whom Ann Rule calls "in a class by herself," burst onto the publishing scene with Dj Dead, the international bestseller of which P. D. James wrote: "The strength of her novel is in the insight it gives into the scientific procedures of a murder investigation." Now, with her dazzling new forensic thriller Fatal Voyage, Reichs applies her cutting-edge scientific know-how to the probe of a heartbreaking commercial airliner crash. Temperance Brennan hears the news on her car radio. An Air TransSouth flight has gone down in the mountains of western North Carolina, taking with it eighty-eight passengers and crew. As a forensic anthropologist and a member of the regional DMORT team, Tempe rushes to the scene to assist in body recovery and identification. Tempe has seen death many times, working with the medical examiners in North Carolina and Montreal, but never has tragedy struck with such devastation. She finds a field of carnage: torsos in trees, limbs strewn among bursting suitcases and smoldering debris. Many of the dead are members of a university soccer team. Is Tempe's daughter, Katy, among them? Frantic with worry, Tempe joins colleagues from the FBI, the NTSB, and other agencies to search for explanations. Was the plane brought down by a bomb, an insurance plot, a political assassination, or simple mechanical failure? And what about the prisoner on the plane who was being extradited to Canada? Did someone want him silenced forever? Even more puzzling for Tempe is a disembodied foot found near the debris field. Tempe's microscopic analysis suggests it could not have belonged to any passenger. Whose foot is it, and where is the rest of the body? And what about the disturbing evidence Tempe discovers in the soil outside a remote mountain enclave? What secrets lie hidden there, and why are certain people eager to stop Tempe's investigation? Is she learning too much? Coming too close? With help from Montreal detective Andrew Ryan, who has his own sad reason for being at the crash, and from a very special dog named Boyd, Tempe calls upon deep reserves of courage and upon her forensic skill to uncover a shocking, multilayered tale of deceit and depravity. Written with the riveting authenticity that only world-class forensic anthropologist Kathy Reichs can provide, Fatal Voyage pairs witty, elegant prose with pulse-pounding storytelling in a tour de force worthy of crime writing's new superstar.

Mehso-so

This one was kind of so so for me. It held my attention more in the latter half. I'm not a huge fan of starting in the middle of the action. Otherwise it was an intriguing premise.

I've finally gotten to the point of not associating these with the show at all, which makes them so much more enjoyable. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

rwmg I basically stopped reading them because I was so annoyed by the TV series 3y

While I wouldn't say this book blew me out of the water, the same can be said for the previous books in this series. Despite this, I enjoyed the mystery and excitement of it, my only complaint being the occasional over-saturation of medical/legal jargon in short spaces.

This book is next on the reading list, as soon as I'm done with the Cosmere short stories. I read the first 3 books in this series earlier this year and then took a break to return to my fantasy novels. I think I could use a bit of a pallet cleanser though before continuing my summer reading
