Speaking in Bones
Speaking in Bones: A Novel | Kathy Reichs
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Includes the bonus novella Bones on IceNo one speaks the language of suspense more brilliantly than Kathy Reichs, author of the acclaimed Temperance Brennan series. In Speaking in Bones, the forensic anthropologist finds herself drawn into a world of dark secrets and dangerous beliefs, where good and evil blur. Professionally, Temperance Brennan knows exactly what to dotest, analyze, identify. Her personal life is another story. Shes at a loss, wondering how to answer police detective Andrew Ryans marriage proposal. But the matter of matrimony takes a backseat when murder rears its head. Hazel Lucky Strikea strident amateur detective who mines the Internet for cold casescomes to Brennan with a tape recording of an unknown girl being held prisoner and terrorized. Strike is convinced the voice is that of eighteen-year-old Cora Teague, who went missing more than three years earlier. Strike is also certain that the teenagers remains are gathering dust in Temperance Brennans lab. Brennan has doubts about working with a self-styled websleuth. But when the evidence seems to add up, Brennans next stop is the treacherous backwoods where the chilling recording (and maybe Cora Teagues bones) were discovered. Her forensic field trip only turns up more disturbing questionsalong with gruesome proof of more untimely deaths. While local legends of eerie nocturnal phenomena and sinister satanic cults abound, its a zealous and secretive religious sect that has Brennan spooked and struggling to separate the saints from the sinners. But theres nothing, including fire and brimstone, that can distract her from digging up the truth and taking down a killereven as Brennan finds herself in a place where angels fear to tread, devils demand their due, and she may be damned no matter what.Praise for Speaking in Bones Speaking in Bones keeps the suspense high.Associated Press Temperances forensic sleuthing uncovers many secrets, along with a blockbuster psychological surprise.The Huffington Post

Tempe has what she thinks is a crazy lady come into her office certain she knows who one of Tempe‘s unknown bones are. She gives enough of a convincing argument that Tempe investigates. Whoa do we go on a roller coaster ride and there‘s quite a twist at the end.

This one just didn't do it for me. The medical argument wasn't as sound as I'd like it to be. Definitely going back to reading these ones in the physical form though. I remember Hong's better that way.

Wenn ich zum Lesen kommen würde, würde ich gerade Sprache der Knochen von Kathy Reichs lesen. Durch den ganzen Examens Stress und Bewerbungsstress lese ich viel weniger als ich wollen würde. Aber bald nimmt es ein Ende! Und dann haben die Bücher mich wieder

I like that the tv show bares no resemblance to the books, other than the name of the lead character. Tempe in the books is more reckless than in the show, which is why I probably prefer Bones.

That being said, this was a fine entry in the series and, weirdly, after never having heard of her before, contained the 2nd reference to Elizabeth Báthory I've seen today! ??

Getting caught up on one of my favorite series. I've been a Tempe fan since the first book. I saw Kathy Reichs at Bouchercon in Raleigh last year. It was fun to hear about the differences between the tv series and the books. I do enjoy both!

referencing the TV show based on your books IN your books is pretty lame, in my opinion, Ms. Reichs.

I would have liked this more without all the chapter endings that try too hard to make you turn the page. Like "It was the start of a cascade that would end with horrific results". Or "Unaware of the deadly spiral I'd kicked into motion". Only there really wasn't a cascade. Or a spiral. Just the plot moving along, as all plots do. And Brennan is supposed to be smart, so why does she always rush blindly into danger without backup?

arienettexo I've wondered that with every one I've read: has she not figured it out that going impulsively into places is a bad idea?! 8y
